WHAT IS THERAPLAY®?

Theraplay is a short-term, therapist-guided play therapy for children and their parent/caregivers that:

  • Enhances attachment, self-esteem and trust in others through joyful engagement
  • Is based on the natural patterns of healthy interaction between parent and child
  • Focuses on four essential qualities found in parent-child relationships: structure, nurture, engagement and challenge
  • Creates an active and empathic connection between child and parents
  • Results in a changed view of the self as worthy and lovable, and of relationships as positive and rewarding

Theraplay was developed in the 1960’s by Dr. Ann Jernberg, a clinical psychologist, to meet the needs of young children in the Head Start program in Chicago.  It is now practiced internationally to help adopted children form secure attachments and to help children with a wide variety of presenting problems from ADD to developmental delays.

IS Theraplay EVIDENCE-BASED?

Theraplay has been evaluated and rated “3”, promising practice, by the California Evidence Based Practice Clearinghouse for Child Welfare: California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse review of Theraplay 

Three articles demonstrating the effectiveness of Theraplay have been published in peer reviewed journals, and many other research articles and case studies have been published in the past 40 years.  The Theraplay Institute continues to encourage research projects and hopes to earn the highest ratings on evidence based scales within the next two years as more research becomes published.

Theraplay is used internationally in at least 28 countries. 

Join the thousands of mental health professionals who have added Theraplay to their skill set.

HOW DOES Theraplay DIFFER FROM OTHER TYPES OF CHILD THERAPY?

  • It directly involves the parents or caregivers in change
  • It is active, interpersonal and fun—not “talk therapy”
  • Progress can be made quickly
  • It focuses on strengthening the parent-child relationship
  • It focuses on the “here and now”, not what happened in the past
  • Because it does not involve verbal or symbolic understanding, it can be used with very young children or children with developmental delays
  • The “Theraplay way” flows easily from the clinical setting to the home
  • Theraplay treatment is appropriate for all ages—infancy through adolescence

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

  • Psychologists and psychiatrists
  • Social workers
  • Counselors and family therapists
  • Play therapists
  • Adoption/Post-Adoption counselors
  • Early childhood and developmental specialists

CE Information:  The Theraplay Institute is approved by the Association for Play Therapy to offer continuing education specific to play therapy.  The Theraplay Institute maintains responsibility for the program.  Our provider number is 95-008.  We are also approved by APA and NBCC.

Hardwired for Connection:

Healing, Resiliency and Hope for Childhood Trauma

Interaction with infants and young children quickly reveals their reliance on others for access to resources needed for survival. The newest research is showing us that humans are in fact, hardwired for connection. This training will explore how the quality of early childhood relationships affects all aspects of development, the healing power of empathic connection, and ways to help young children and their caregivers use the healing power of connection to successfully resolve early childhood trauma, develop resiliency to stop the cycle of abuse, and even heal parts of the brain affected by trauma. Interventions will be identified, as will diagnostic assessment techniques and service plan goals and objectives to assist in bringing this treatment to your current work.

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED, SPACE IS LIMITED. See brochure for details.
