by Allan Gonsher, LIMHP, LCSW, RPT-S
Wednesday 14.07, 7-8pm Israel time – Theories of Play Therapy
Knowing that there are over 15 “known/defined” theories of Play Therapy, this Webinar will focus on 4 major ones: Psychoanalytic, Jungian, Adlerian, and Child Centered. Not to be exhaustive and expansive, but enough to challenge and intrigue those who are working with children to recognize the necessity to have a theoretical framework in which one works BEFORE one walks into the play room.
Wednesday 21.07, 7-8pm Israel time – Normal Play vs Therapeutic Play
When one walks into the play room besides having a theoretical foundation on which one approaches the work, one needs to appreciate and know the developmental progression of “normal” and “therapeutic” play. This webinar will help clinicians embrace the relationship aspect of play vs “directing….solving…..finding the solutions. Relationships with children will be the major focus when discussing this topic.
Wednesday 21.07, 7-8pm Israel time – Play Therapy Techniques
Although one needs to embrace and practice relationship based child therapy, a clinician needs to have in his/her “back pocket” techniques that facilitate the process. Discussion on the Doll House, Sand, the ball, crayons, and more will be discussed. All of the above are based on Theoretical understandings of Child Therapy
