November Play Therapy Wrap-Up
Another interesting month in the world of Play Therapy. Get all the November news here. Here's some highlights:
-This article provides many useful Q&A resources for counselors and other child-therapy practitioners. The sites deal with grief, social/emotional issues, and general counseling. Very bookmark-worthy!
-When a therapist becomes involved in a divorce case, he or she must be very mindful of the process and of the decision-making rights of the parents when it comes to case notes. Here's a brief but important article on how to avoid mishandling the situation.
-Linda Lowenstein is always adding great articles to her website. The two most recent great reads include an article on stress management and one on the effects of addiction on families.
-Congratulations to Dr. Robert D. Nolan of Florida for being named the 2011 David Lawrence Jr. Champion for Children. Here's an impressive article about his contributions to the field of play therapy.
-Sandplay Voices is an excellent resource for articles, power point presentations, training opportunities and more. It's also a great resource for finding other great resources, such as the Center for Practical Play Therapy Techniques website run by Dr. David A. Crenshaw, which is full of valuable play therapy information.
-For those of us who didn't attend the 21st International Congress for Sandplay Therapy this August. The event was held in Switzerland (the homeland of Sandplay pioneers Dora Kalff and C.G. Jung) and appears to have been a very enriching experience. Here's a write-up in the Journal of Sandplay Therapy.
-A horse is a horse of course of course but they also have a capacity to heal. I've been seeing more and more articles about animal therapy in the past year.
-Bop bags and board games will always be great tools to use in play therapy, but there are also ways to utilize newer technology in the therapeutic process. Here's a very cool video about using digital technology in play therapy with children.
-Here's a great three-part article on Filial Therapy by Rise Van Fleet. Find lots of other articles and information at the Family Enhancement & Play Therapy website.
-Having just wrapped up another great conference in Sacramento, the APT is already gearing up for the 2012 conference in Cleveland. Aside from the big show, there are lots of other play therapy events upcoming in 2012. But not all play therapy learning has to involve travel and expense. For example, you could attend a virtual conference just by watching this series of videos on youtube. Another great way to expand your therapy repertoire from home is through the Colorado School for Family Therapy's distance learning classes. Aside from Play Therapy courses, they offer certification programs in Marriage and Family Therapy, Sandplay Therapy, Art Therapy, and more.

Happy Holidays!
