Description:
Angry children tend to be a difficult group of clients to treat for many therapists. Anger management programs that are about talking it out do not seem to work. Play therapy helps children work through their angry feeling and channel that anger appropriately. Children have to learn to direct the energy that mounts inside when they become angry. This workshop will lead participants in the acquisition of play therapy techniques to use with angry children to break through the resistance, engage them in therapy, and help them manage their anger in a constructive way. Videos, case studies, and skill practice will enhance the presentation.
