Overview
This 6-day seminar is intended for child therapists who want to incorporate and/or further develop the use of expressive therapies in their play therapy practice. We will explore the inclusion of a wide variety of expressive therapies in a play therapy session and consider both the use of expressive therapies as a way of releasing, transforming, and integrating difficult experiences and expressive therapies that are ego-strengthening, nurturing and grounding.
Learning Objectives and Content:

• For each expressive therapy:
• Discuss the materials needed.

• How and when they are used both in spontaneous play and during structured interventions.
• Consider various ways children with all types of problems have used expressive therapies to
deal with their issues (illustrated by slides).
