Required Text: Landreth, G. (2012) Play therapy: The art of the relationship. Accelerated Development, Inc: Muncie, IN. ISBN: 978-0415886819
Course Description: This course introduces the key tenets of applying DSM criteria for diagnosing child through the use of play therapy techniques. A heavy focus is placed on understanding how the play behaviors are characteristic of certain types of diagnoses. The course does not teach providers how to “interpret” client behavior, but rather to recognize patterns that may better explain a certain diagnosis for the purpose of informing the play therapy treatment plan.

Required Text: Landreth, G. (2012) Play therapy: The art of the relationship. Accelerated Development, Inc: Muncie, IN. ISBN: 978-0415886819
Course Description: This course focuses on the importance and ability of engaging parents and caregivers in the play therapy process. From the intake to the discharge, caregiver involvement is essential to the quality and progress of play therapy interventions for children. Children cannot be expected to make all the changes—if caregivers do not change with them, children will not be able to maintain progress and may even regress. Strategies for engaging caregivers will be the primary course focus.

Required Text: Homeyer, L. & Sweeney, D. (2017) Sandtray therapy: A practice manual. Routledge: New York, NY. ISBN: 978-1138950047
Course Description: During play therapy supervision, it is sometimes difficult to identify and find the words to describe the dynamics of the clients/therapist relationship. Utilizing the techniques of sand tray therapy, the clinician can create a picture in the sand about the case and through supervision uncover the factors that may be impeding the process. This technique offers a unique approach for both individuals to see the case with clarity and enhance the supervisee’s self-awareness. Observe a supervision session where the supervisee conceptualizes the case using miniatures in sand and the supervisor guides the process. Throughout the webinar, learn techniques that facilitate this process and observe the impact it has on the developing play therapist.
