“Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood, for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child’s soul” (Friedrich Froebel, 2012). Play can be compared to an open door to gaining knowledge on how children view their environment and themselves. Since play is a natural expression for children, the utilization of such technique could prove to be useful in counseling children with a varying degree of behavioral, emotional, or mental issues. Moreover, throughout the years, there has been a number of theoretical approaches to play therapy, other than the child center approach. Therefore, this paper will explore the philosophy, role of the therapist, and counseling techniques of Adlerian play therapy.…

Play therapy is a type of mental health, educational, or developmental intervention that is designed to help children grow up as happy and well-adjusted as possible. It involves the use of play to communicate with children and to help children learn to solve problems and change their negative behaviors. The Association for Play Therapy defines play therapy as “the systematic use of a theoretical model to establish an interpersonal process wherein trained play therapists use the therapeutic powers of play to help clients prevent or resolve psychosocial difficulties and achieve optimal growth and development.” Play is the primary way that children do the following: learn about the world; understand how different things work; express their thoughts and feelings; develop their physical skills; develop their mental skills; and develop effective social skills and bonds. As children grow, their use of language becomes more sophisticated, but throughout childhood, they usually express much more of themselves in their play. By watching children play we often learn more about their thoughts, feelings, motivations, and struggles than by talking with them.…

After reading the article, Video Games in Psychotherapy by T. Atilla Ceranoglu, I agree that video games can help in psychotherapy because I believe that playing videos can take their minds off of the tragic things going on in their life, such as children who went through abuse, neglected, control problems etc… This will help them release some stress and to have a little fun. I think those kids who have problems controlling themselves this will help them relax a little and not be hyper. Children like games already so by this being psychotherapy is a good way for the kids to be themselves. This can also help a child connect with their therapist by doping something the child likes and will be distracted. Therefore the therapist can talk to the child and maybe get their feelings out while they are focused on something else. A child can express themselves through the game they choose. As the article stay, “video games offer several opportunities in psychotherapy owing to their unique content versatility play modes.” This can help the therapist figure out what feeling the child has through the playing of the child, as the article states, “A competitive game may offer the opportunity to display aggressive urges, omnipotent wishes, or the desire to destroy and re-create the therapist.” I think by the therapist allowing the child to play video games may help the child to be comfortable with them, and do something they like to do and won’t look at therapy as a place that is going to be pressured them to talk. As the article says, “Children may find it easier to relate to a therapist who is ready and willing to play in their usual way.” As I read in the Neo Academic by Landers it states that, “games (generally) have been used in therapy for some time. One citation put the use of board games in psychotherapy as early as 1957. This implies to me a more receptive scientific community associated with general therapy than is associated with…
