4+3 = Goals of Misbehavior in Play Therapy

This webinar will be a mix of didactic and experiential learning.  Participants will learn to identify the 4 unconscious goals of misbehavior, attention, power, revenge, and proving inadequacies.  They will also gain understanding into the 3 conscious goals of misbehavior, getting, self-elevation, and avoiding.  They will work through various scenarios to identify clients’ goals of misbehavior.  Participants will also explore skills and techniques to help their clients make changes.  They will work in small groups to explore effective storytelling techniques to help clients shift their goal of misbehavior from destructive to more adaptive ways.  

4 Live Webinar CE hours (Non-Contact)  (Includes 2 Play Therapy Seminal or Historically Significant Theories, 2 hours on Play Therapy Skills and Methods, etc.) This workshop meets APT's definition of "Live Webinar."
