Integrative Play Therapy:  Creating a pathway for working as an integrative play therapist

Overview

This webinar addresses fundamental questions practitioners have concerning an integrative approach to Play Therapy. It is designed for the beginning play therapist, as well as the seasoned play therapist and play therapy supervisor. The webinar covers both theoretical issues, such as pathways toward integrating multiple models or theories, as well as implications for decision-making, monitoring therapist use of self, and supervision from an integrative perspective. Both the play therapy supervisee and supervisor will benefit from this material, as it provides a foundation for understanding and monitoring the therapeutic process

The webinar is divided into two parts. There is a menu to navigate between different chapters and/or return to specific sections for additional review.

In Part II, Lorri Yasenik and Ken Gardner provide an overview of the Play Therapy Dimensions Model, which is a decision-making model for the integrative play therapist. The model is examined in detail, looking at the two primary dimensions, consciousness and directiveness.  Video segments illustrate movement along the two continuums, highlighting underlying case conceptualization processes, as well as tools used to guide clinical decision-making. Two cases are presented to increase our understanding of an integrative framework for decision-making, as well as how to make use of the tracking and self-monitoring tools in supervision.
