Workshop Overview:

The history of play therapy begins a few thousand years ago with Plato. “You can discover more about a human being in an hour of play than a year of conversation.” Plato (429-347 B.C.) This training will explore the history of play and help you assess your play therapy style and give you a better understanding of the different theories of play.

Theoretical Basis:

In this training we will explore many different theoretical ideas, we may speak greatly about Client-Centered Play Therapy.

Workshop Objectives:

1. Help you understand where we started, and we are now in the field of play so you can intelligently tell a judge, lawyer, parent, friend or doctor why play can have such a deep impact for the clients you serve.
2. Help you define what play techniques you bring to the playroom and identify if you are using directive or non-directive play and what theory you are using so you can intelligently relate that in your progress notes.
3. Help you explore why you are attracted to your play techniques by exploring your past experiences with play/play techniques across your lifespan.
