Anyone interested in using play therapy or developing their skills in working
with children. Also for those wishing to make a career decision.
This is an excellent opportunity to discover if you would enjoy play
therapy work and to acquaint yourself with APAC's training methods.
The course introduces mainly non-directive
play techniques based upon the humanistic model of Carl Rogers and the
work of Virginia Axline, Mark Barnes, Rachel Pinney and Violet Oaklander. We will be
outlining different techniques in play therapy. Participants will
experience non-directive play therapy for themselves through sandtray
work
and a dip into the main skills (art, music, movement and storytelling).

for working therapeutically with children
In the morning we will be
introducing you to play therapy through the latest research, history,
theoretical milestones, case histories. and experience some of the play
therapy 'tool-kit' - music, art, stories and creative
visualisation. In the afternoon you will
experience: sandtray work as a client, therapist and observer.
We will also cover employment opportunities in
