Description:
Child centered play therapy is a modality that utilizes the child’s natural language of play and the therapeutic relationship to help a child overcome psychosocial, behavioral, relational, and emotional challenges. Through the use of empathic understanding, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard, child centered play therapists utilize the play sessions to help the client heal. This training will help play therapists understand the theory and principles behind child centered play therapy as well as the categories of play therapist responses and the ACT model of limit setting during sessions. Participants will be introduced to the materials that are recommended for a well-equipped play therapy room based on child centered play therapy theory. Implementation of child centered play therapy in a traditional play therapy room will be discussed, as well as how to modify this work to a school setting. An introduction to documentation of a child centered play therapy session will also be provided.
