Child Centered Play Therapy is an ideal approach for those first implementing play therapy as it provides the relationship between therapist and child to hear their worlds through the language of play. This workshop is an introduction to Child Centered Play Therapy for mental health providers. Child Centered Play Therapy is a nondirective theory that guides interactions with the child in the play therapy room. Child Centered Play Therapy allows novice play therapists insight into children’s worlds through the language of play. This workshop will provide the principles and objectives of CCPT. Themes in play will be discussed. Interactive and experiential learning will allow for practice of child centered skills including limit setting, tracking, and reflecting.
