Conduct your own research into the various play therapy approaches (Adlerian, Child-centered,
Cognitive-behavioral, etc.). Which approach do you think will be the most effective in working
with children experiencing grief and loss, children placed in foster care, and children who have
been physically abused, sexually-abused or neglected? Your paper should include a summary of
the specific approach, interventions/tools utilized in therapy, and how you see this particular
approach being the most effective for this population. This paper involves critical thinking and
requires you to take the knowledge you have gained so far and apply it clinically to a specific
type of client. For example, what have you learned about trauma? Grief? What might be some
of the presenting issues a child is dealing with as a result of these events and how will the
approach you have selected address these issues? The body of this paper should be at least 4
pages in length and adhere to APA guidelines. You are also required to include a title page and a
reference page.
