Play Therapy Skills Lab 

Description: One of the goals of our Play Therapy Institute is to provide participants with not only play therapy theory and techniques but also to ensure a level of clinical competence. During this session, participants will discuss authentic cases and devise treatment plans with appropriate play-based interventions. Additionally, participants are required to bring at least one written case of a real client (child aged 3-10) for group consultation. A discussion to include the purpose of the session, play therapy technique(s) utilized, theoretical foundation, and outcome(s) of sessions should be included in the summary. Track A participants are strongly encouraged to attend as well as any other child therapists. Seasoned Registered Play Therapists are also encouraged to take this training. 

Objectives:

• Analyze authentic play therapy cases from a developmentally-sound clinical perspective.
• Demonstrate application of theory and techniques to cases presented.
• Evaluate effectiveness of therapeutic interventions.
