In this video interview, Clair Mellenthin explains that through the lens of attachment theory, participants will gain a new understanding of how children and families interact and bond to one another in healthy vs maladaptive ways. We will be looking at the manner in which trauma, abuse, and neglect impact the bonds of attachment within the family system and how the power of attachment-based play therapy can help to heal these wounds. Participants will learn new and innovative play therapy techniques and leave with a creative toolbox of tips, techniques, and a clear understanding of how attachment styles impact relationships.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will learn how attachment theory applies to play therapy and to view family systems through the lens of attachment.
2. Participants will be able to conceptualize attachment patterns that impact modern parent-child relationships.
3- Participant will learn skills in becoming more competent and confident in engaging parents in family play therapy.
4- Participants will learn effective evidence-based play therapy techniques that can be used immediately with their client populations.

Read Morei use child centered play daily and lots of foster children are referred to me. I have been requesting that DCFS also make a referral for the bio parents or at least give me access to the bio parents to work towards attachment healing. This course is exactly what I needed to learn tonight.

Claire is always great and gives a simplistic overview to complexities of trauma. FYI, I use the hand prints all the time in my practice and love it.

Read MoreThis course had some good insights! There were moments where i did not feel super engaged, however, overall, I picked up some incredible insights on how to incorporate parents into the play experience, while finding relief to know that a child can truly only progress as far as the parents have progressed.
