What the Heck is Phase IV Again??? Reexamining Phase IV of Adlerian Play Therapy

Do you tend to get lost after the third phase of AdPT? Are you often stuck in the metaphor with the child and unsure how to reorient the child towards a positive view of self, others, and the world? If so, this workshop is for you! In this online, interactive workshop, the instructors will use discussion, encouragement, videos, and role playing to help you refine your skills so that you will be able to use play therapy skills and techniques to reorient the child towards a positive worldview. This refresher course will focus solely on PHASE IV of AdPT to further hone your skills and techniques when providing support for children developing more helpful ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. The instructors will provide tips for effectively implementing techniques such as modeling, teaching, role-playing, and metacommunication during this phase in the play therapy process. Attendees will learn effective strategies and techniques for playfully engaging with the child during Phase IV of AdPT.
