Developmental Therapeutic Approach

What is Play Therapy?

Play therapy is a therapeutic approach based on developmental principles. It is a process where the child chooses objects, symbols, or types of play to express their concerns and work through particular problems. In play therapy, toys are like the child’s words and play is the child’s language. A child’s play is not simply a reproduction of what they have experienced, but a creative reworking of the impressions they have acquired.

Communication, Expression & Resolution

The main goals, regardless of the issue, are to help children regain their former level of functioning, enhance self-esteem and build the child’s coping resources. 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.
