If you cannot attend the Filial Play Therapy workshop, please contact us re. Many children are experiencing difficulties due to external stress, such as abuse, family moves, natural disasters, hospitalization, birth of a sibling, parental illness, and so on. Videos and experiential portions will be added to the didactic presentation. Anger issues seem to underlie many of the behavioral issues for which children are referred for treatment.
Anger enables children to defend against painful feelings of anxiety, hurt, guilt, worry, or loss.
This seminar will focus on theories of anger development in children, as well as the play therapy techniques that can be used to help children deal effectively with their anger. This is a practical training and the participants will leave with immediately-useful techniques for working with this difficult population. Techniques for parents and teachers will also be discussed. Videos and experiential portions will enhance the didactic presentation. We offer discounts for early registration, more than 3 workshops, and students.
