This book might appeal to you if you're interested in incorporating creative and playful techniques into Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) for children. It offers engaging activities designed to strengthen emotional regulation and mindfulness, making therapeutic practices more accessible and enjoyable for both children and their caregivers.

This practical book is the first to introduce DBT to play therapists, and to introduce play therapy to DBT therapists.

Description

Children feel emotions in many ways. At times, the intensity of children’s emotions may create difficulties at school, home, and social settings, obstructing their relationships with others in their lives.

Dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT) has been proven as an evidence-based intervention for teenagers and adults with various mental health diagnoses, focusing on mindfulness, interpersonal relationships, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation. Creative Play-Based DBT Activities for Children and Their Caregivers will translate DBT principles through play therapy-informed activities for children and their parents, as children learn best through play.

This helpful workbook provides supportive activities and techniques for use both in the therapy room and at home, assisting children in managing their emotions and strengthening their relationships. Children need mediums to express themselves to channel their internal conflicts when faced with varying factors which contribute to a child’s inability to conceptualise their world.

Blending the facilitative powers of DBT and play therapy will allow children to utilise the needed tools and techniques to process their internal conflicts. DBT techniques such as mindfulness, interpersonal reflection, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance, along with play therapy techniques, will be combined.

Utilising these skills while combining the therapeutic powers of play will allow children to play out these presenting challenges to better understand their world and the contributing factors leading to their dysregulation and inability to cognitively process that which they cannot verbalise, due to their limited cognitive ability.
