What is Play Therapy?
Play therapy is generally employed with children ages 3 through 11 and provides a way for them to express their experiences and feelings through a natural, self-guided, self-healing process. As children’s experiences and knowledge are often communicated through play, it becomes an important vehicle for them to know and accept themselves and others. In play therapy, toys are like the child’s words and play is the child’s language (Landreth, 2002).
Therapists utilize play therapy to help children express what is troubling them when they do not have the ability to verbalize their thoughts and feelings. Through play, the therapist may help children learn more adaptive behaviors when there are deficits on an emotional or social level. Through play therapy children learn to communicate with others, express feelings, modify behavior, develop problem-solving skills, and learn a variety of ways of relating to others. Although the issues and behaviors may be challenging, young children are more easily engaged and open to the process when appropriate aspects of play therapy are integrated into the treatment.
