Course description
In this 4 hour webinar we will examine the therapeutic power of play when working with family systems. Based upon a family systems theoretical model, a prescriptive play therapy approach will be introduced as a way of determining appropriate timing and application for a variety of directive play-based interventions with the whole family in session as well as with dyadic therapy sessions.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the theoretical basis for family systems therapy and how play based interventions can be integrated.
- Explain three reasons and ways to utilize prescriptive play therapy in the process of treatment planning for helping families.
- List 15 play therapy interventions that can be used with families in both whole family sessions and dyadic sessions.
- Apply theoretical basis and specific interventions to case examples in developing a treatment plan.
