Child Centered Play Therapy

Bring Garry Landreth into your classroom and let him demonstrate CCPT in action!

This DVD is a perfect complement to Play Therapy: The Art of the Relationship, giving students, instructors, supervisors, and practitioners visual reinforcement of the material presented in the text.

It shows a complete and unrehearsed play therapy session, featuring Garry Landreth as he works with a young girl in a fully equipped play therapy room. The video illustrates the Child Centered Play Therapy approach by demonstrating:

• The process of building a relationship with the child
• Following the child’s lead
• Facilitating the development of the child’s strengths
• Responding to accidents in the playroom
• Building a child’s self-esteem
• Returning responsibility to the child
• Participating in a child’s play without structuring
• Empowering the child
• Dealing with a child reluctant to leave the playroom

Landreth provides audio commentary throughout to highlight key moments in the session and emphasise the basic principles of the child-centered approach. Viewers will find watching this master therapist and pioneer of play therapy to be a unique and valuable teaching and learning opportunity.
