Description:

This workshop will discuss ethical guidelines and boundaries in bringing art-making into the play therapy setting. Focus will be on the play therapist’s role during the art-making process; selecting appropriate art media and creative experiences to meet play therapy treatment goals; discussing the art product with the child, and appropriately integrating art into play therapy approaches.

Additionally, we will review Lowenfeld and Brittain (1987) stages of art

development, observing how these can reflect cognitive, social and emotional milestones. Knowledge of these art stages is crucial to ethical clinical assessment treatment planning when utilizing creative experiences in play therapy, evoking the questions: How do you know art is regressed if you don’t know appropriate art stage for that child’s age? Is it emotional regression, trauma impact, or developmental delay?

Defining the play therapist's role in utilizing art-making will include being a “Third Hand” enhanced with appropriate art prompts and guiding questions.

Objectives:

Define the 6 stages of graphic developmental in relation to child’s cognitive, social and emotional development in play therapy.
Demonstrate and practice 3 art techniques from a developmental perspective in the play therapy setting.
Identify at least 6 ethical guidelines to using art in play therapy.
Identify at least 4 appropriate questions in discussing child client’s artwork (process and product) ethically as a non-art therapist in play therapy setting.
Name at least 6 art media in order from controlled to looser.
Identify at least 3 roles of the therapist as the child client engages in art- making, from the “third hand “ perspective. ( Kramer)
