Location: 1 Campbell Plaza, St. Louis, MO 63139 or Live Webinar
Description:
Whether you find yourself jumping to conclusions or never quite seeing the connection between a child’s play and the presenting problem, this training is for you. In child-centered play therapy, we enter the child’s world and work to understand it from the inside, and making sense of what we see can take extra support. This training explores play themes, symbolic play, and in-session attunement as tools for building a clear, meaningful case conceptualization. Participants will leave with practical ways to understand the play, respond to it, and share that understanding with parents.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
Identify five common play themes in child-centered play therapy.
Analyze play themes to understand the meaning of a child’s play within case conceptualization.
Explain ways to create meaningful in-session responses based on a child’s play themes.
Describe how play themes and case conceptualization can be used in parent consultations.
Identify indicators of progress in child-centered play therapy.
Describe levels of empathic responding and how each can be integrated into facilitative responses in play therapy.
