PLAY THERAPY

Play therapy is a structured, theoretically based approach to therapy that builds on the normal communicative and learning processes of children.  This type of therapy is most appropriate for children ranging in age from 3 to 12 years old.  Play therapists strategically utilize play therapy to help children express what is troubling them when they do not have the verbal language to express their thoughts and feelings.  Play therapy differs from regular play in that the therapist helps children to address and resolve their own problems.  It builds on the natural way that children learn about themselves and their relationships in the world around them.  

​

"I tried to teach my child with books,

He gave me only puzzled looks.

I tried to teach my child with words, 

They passed him  by often unheard.

Despairingly I turned aside

"How shall I teach this child?" I cried.

Into my hand he put the key,

"Come" he said "and play with me."

​

In the textbook Play Therapy: The Art of the Relationship, Landreth (2002) defined child-centered play therapy as:

A dynamic interpersonal relationship between a child (or person of any age) and a therapist trained in play therapy procedures who provides selected play materials and facilitates the development of a safe relationship for the child (or person of any age) to fully express and explore self (feelings, thoughts, experiences, and behaviors) through play, the child's natural medium of communication, for optimal growth and development. (p. 16)​
