By Nancy Boyd Webb
This program is presented by Nancy Boyd Webb, a noted authority on play therapy, who provides a lively introduction to play therapy techniques. Dr. Webb skillfully demonstrates how to engage 4- to 12-year-olds, manage the various stages of therapy, and implement effective interventions using drawing materials, clay, play dough, puppets, dolls, blocks, and card and board games. Viewers are invited directly into the therapeutic playroom to see unrehearsed segments of initial play therapy sessions, follow-up sessions, and an initial parent interview.
Audience
Mental health professionals working with children and families, including child and school psychologists, social workers, play and art therapists, counselors, family therapists, and psychiatrists; students and trainees in these fields. Also suitable for viewing by parents.
