Expressive Therapies in the Playroom
  •  For each expressive therapy:
  •  Discuss the materials needed.
  •  Consider the unique contribution each has to offer to the play therapy process.
  •  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 todeal with their issues (illustrated by slides).
  • Explore the images created in the various media.

In the afternoon, participants will be given the opportunity to experience the use of the various expressive therapies as related to lecture material from the morning.
