Spieltherapie

Play is an important medium for children, allowing them to confront new experiences, deepen learning and practice processes, and process their experiences. This holistic, highly motivated learning can be specifically utilized as a complement to cognitive behavioral therapy in therapeutic processes. Following an introduction to play and play therapy, the implementation of play therapeutic elements in the therapeutic process is presented, accompanied by numerous case examples and therapy dialogues. Disorder-specific therapy processes illustrate the integration of "guided individual play" (GIS) into comprehensive behavioral therapy treatments. Contents include: Fundamentals of children's play - Functions of play in a therapeutic context - Play in child therapy - Levels of intervention and play processes in child behavioral therapy - Characteristics of the Guided approach.
