Play Therapy and The Courts
Presented by Michael Ollom, LISW, RPT-S

This workshop is designed to help you:
Recognize how confidentiality, conflict of interest, and informed consent of Play Therapy clients can be specifically impacted by court involvement.
Describe at least three imperative questions a Play Therapist should ask at the initial screening phase of treatment.
Explain the differences between the two types of custody recognized by the court system as well as three subcategories, and why this is important to a Play Therapist.
