I just finished posting a bunch of new articles and resources to MyPlayTherapyPage.com and thought I'd post a quick run-down of what I found and what's been happening in the world of play therapy this month.

-Author and practitioner Paris Goodyear-Brown has written this interesting short article on dysregulation citing effective interventions.

-Diane E. Frey's "Creative Strategies for the Treatment of Anger" provides a very thorough and well-researched argument for the use of play therapy in anger management.

-Interested in being a presenter at the 2011 Texas Association for Play Therapy Conference? TAPT is accepting proposals through September 1st.

-The National Center for Death Education will be hosting it's 2010 Summer Institute on Grief and Loss in late July. For info on other upcoming events, check out our resource page at MyPlayTherapyPage.com.

-The California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists has launched a video podcast series which seems interesting to both parents and play therapists. The first three topics include discussions on behavior, divorce, and an introduction to play therapy.

-Here's a very interesting CNN article on "video playdates" and the impact of technology on the way children interact.

-And finally some news of the weird. Apparently play therapy is helping this Indonesian chain-smoking toddler kick the habit.
