The course introduces mainly non-directive
play techniques based upon the humanistic model of Carl Rogers and the
work of Virginia Axline, Mark Barnes, Rachel Pinney and Violet Oaklander. We will be
outlining different techniques in play therapy. Participants will
experience non-directive play therapy for themselves through sandtray
work
and a dip into the main skills (art, music, movement and storytelling ).
We will also cover employment opportunities and training requirements
for working therapeutically with children as well as setting up a play
therapy service. |

tutorials on theory but formal teaching and lecturing will be kept to an
essential minimum.
Learning will be experiential and collaborative using pair, group work, role-play and case
presentations. Homework reading and other assignments will provide new
information and consolidation of material from the experiential work
encountered within the weekends. Assignments will be subject of group
discussions the following weekend.
