Description:

Level One training prepares participants to begin using Theraplay® Informed Practice in their work. Workshop participants will process through the Theraplay® protocol by examining the principles of attachment theory on an intellectual and experiential level, The Four Dimensions of Theraplay®, and  the Marschak Interaction Method (MIM), including the administration, analysis and how to use it as a guide for their treatment planning.
