HBGPLTH0004 - Advanced Play Therapy Practice

Course Description

Advanced Play Therapy Practice

This course further develops and synthesizes the subject matter in the previous three courses, to prepare students for the challenges of moving into practice.  It provides an in-depth review of the advanced elements and principles of play therapy, including the ethical and legal issues of therapy with children and adolescents, attachment issues and disorders of children, children diagnosed with serious mental illness, children and resiliency, play therapy in schools, hospitals, and other host settings; sand tray therapy, and play therapy across the lifespan.  The goal of this course is to further prepare play therapists for the special issues that are likely to be confronted in everyday practice, as well as expansion of skills for eventual work as a supervisor. The content will contain materials to develop advanced play therapy practice skills and an understanding of in depth approaches of play therapy at the level required for eventual registration as a play therapist.
