Using Culture as a Filter for Understanding Lifestyle in Play Therapy Clients

In this class, we will explore how the formation of play therapy clients’ lifestyles is influenced by the various factors that make up their culture.  Culture consists of so many intersecting elements: race, religion, ethnicity, age, socioeconomic status, sexual identity, gender, (dis)abilities, social class, education, physical characteristics, language, and many other dimensions.  To be both culturally sensitive and culturally responsive, you should be able to consider how each of these factors impacts an individual play therapy client’s views of self, others, and the world.
