In this workshop, Terry uses discussion, encouragement, videotapes, role playing, and actual work with children to help you refine your skills so that you will be able to use play therapy to (a) build relationships with children; (b) explore children's lifestyles; (c) help children gain insight into their lifestyles; and (d) help children make changes in their thoughts, feelings, attitudes and behaviors. You will also learn and practice strategies for developing a conceptualization of the child and consulting with parents and teachers. Built into this workshop is the opportunity to make videotapes of your practice with a child in the playroom and receive supervision from Terry. In this workshop, Terry’s emphasis is on play therapy techniques, Adlerian theory as applied to play therapy, the history of play therapy, and working with specific populations using Adlerian play therapy. Class is limited to 12 participants. Required reading before class: Partners in Play: An Adlerian Approach to Play Therapy 2nd ed. (Kottman, 2003). 40 hours of CEUs
