For this week’s activity, create a podcast on how to implement child-centered play therapy that is designed for beginning clinicians. Think of it as a quick introduction for someone who is just starting to practice this therapy approach. Include sections that answer the following questions:
– How is play therapeutic for children?
– What are the core principles of child-centered play therapy?
– What are the typical goals and benefits of play therapy?
– How do you set the stage for play therapy (what resources/space do you need)?
– What are the basic techniques therapists use in play therapy?
– How do you determine whether play therapy is the right approach for the presenting issue?
– What are some of the basic cultural and ethical considerations for the practice of play therapy?
– Is effectiveness research currently enough for play therapy? Explain why or why not.
include 3 scholarly resources.
I have attached some of what I’ve worked on… a very, very rough draft.
