Description:

The children we work with are part of a larger family system. Incorporating a child’s parents, siblings and/or other family members into the therapy process can be beneficial for the child as well as for the larger family construct. A play therapist may question how to best incorporate a child’s family into sessions. Participants of this workshop will assess how to conceptualize family systems within the context of play therapy. Case studies, videos, group work, and experiential learning will be utilized throughout the workshop as attendees examine family processes, Structural Family Therapy, Filial Therapy, parenting strategies, and directive play therapy techniques. A portion of this workshop will also encourage participants to focus on their own family system and how that may impact them in their role as the therapist to a family they are working with.

Objectives:

  1. Participants of this workshop will examine strategies for teaching parents to interact positively with their children using play therapy techniques.
  2. Participants of this workshop will discuss an overview of parent education and parent intervention strategies, that includes puppet play, to use in the playroom and in their home setting.
  3. Participants of this workshop will examine, discuss and process through multi-cultural implications and issues to consider in family play therapy.
  4. Participants of this workshop will identify Filial therapy and directive family play therapy techniques.
  5. Participants of this workshop will assess structural family therapy and consider play therapy techniques that utilize its concepts in the playroom.
  6. Participants of this workshop will analyze genograms and demonstrate the play therapy technique of family play genograms to use in the clinical or play therapy setting.
  7. Participants of this workshop will identify play therapy techniques for assessing a family’s structure, strengths, and needs in the playroom.
  8. Participants of this workshop will discuss and apply strategies to use play therapy techniques to gain parents’ trust and involvement in the play therapy process.
  9. Participants of this workshop will examine and discuss the differences between individual and family therapy and how those differences shape one’s own utilization of play therapy in the playroom.
