  This four-day seminar is intended for experienced play therapists who work with children who have suffered from loss, lack, or distortion of attachment. Our focus will be on the crucial role of the therapist's self-knowledge, and self-care abilities while dealing with the demands, challenges and the long-term side effects of working with such children.
   
   
     
• The first two days will address the role of attachment in the child's development, the challenges of providing a reparative experience in the playroom, the process of transference and counter- transference and its effects on the outcome of the therapy. Participants will be encouraged to bring challenging cases and will be given the opportunity to explore the part their counter transference played through the use of: family photographs, art therapy, sandplay, doll house play, story writing, etc.

• The next two days will be spent considering the challenges of the issue of therapist self-care and maintaining the integrity, enjoyment and enhancement of their work in difficult times. This will be done through discussions, the use of metaphors, visualizations, and a variety of expressive therapies: art, sandplay, writing, sewing, storytelling etc.
