In this 4 hour webinar we will examine the therapeutic power of play when working with family systems.

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.
