Participants should have professional training in counseling/ psychotherapy and currently practicing in the field as a play therapist.

However, all therapists who are interested in improving their skills as play therapist are welcome.

- Explain the symbolic meanings of the metaphors children use in their play process.
- Recognize the signs in a child's play which indicate different forms of abuse and trauma.
- Describe styles of responding to children that create therapeutic change in the process of treatment.
The format will consist of case presentations by the participants. Presentations may consist of video tapes, art work, sand trays, case notes, and dynamics of the play process. Each participant will have the opportunity to present four hours of case material for direct consultation, in addition to contributions from other members of the group. The format will be open discussion of issues, content, process and dynamics of the cases presented. Confidentiality will be maintained on all case material presented.
