Course
Supervision and Instruction of Play Therapy
PSY-40388
This course imparts methods of supervision and instruction that develop in others the capacity to think as play therapists. Modified Socratic methods, exercises, and “compassionate communication” are used to teach participants to apply such methods to the supervision and instruction of others. Participants learn how to help supervisees and students develop treatment goals, match therapy interventions to these goals, integrate ongoing assessment of play into treatment planning, and recognize and work with induced and personal countertransference
