OVERVIEW TO DYADIC PLAY THERAPY
( 3 CEs)
Presenter: Courtney Lewis, LPCC, RPT- S IMHE-III
This workshop will provide a conceptual framework to clinicians
who are utilizing play therapy to treat children from ages 2-10. The framework
is flexible and tailored to each child individually and their particular family
system. This workshop will incorporate the importance of understanding basic
child development both physiological and neurological, and the imbedded role
the caregiver system plays in that development. This workshop will address the
vital importance of working with this information to heal child trauma, grief
and distress.
Objectives:
1)
Assessing and developing the play
therapy treatment plan to meet the child’s developmental and regulatory needs.
2)
Utilizing play therapy to create
healing change in the dyadic relationship through incorporating caregivers as
partners
3)
Connecting the first and second
objective to set the foundational stage for healing child trauma/grief/distress
through play therapy.
