The Creative Play Therapy Process:�Accessing Our Own Creativity & Spontaneity�for Personal Development and Use in Play Therapy�Dates:�July 27-31, 2015 (Monday-Friday)�Hours:�9:00-12:15 daily� CE credits:�3 hours per day,�15� total�

Why is play therapy widely regarded as the most developmentally appropriate form of therapy for children?�Play, humor, imagination, spontaneity, and lightness help create emotional safety for children and families,�permitting them to work through their problems without fear. Key research in the field of affective neuroscience�also points to the importance of using the seeking and play emotional systems in the brain to offset negative�affective states (Panksepp). �This multimodal workshop uses an experiential and creativity-based approach to encourage therapists to�explore their own playfulness and spontaneity in the service of therapeutic efficacy, all within a light, playful�environment. A variety of hands-on, interactive  techniques will be discussed, demonstrated, and�experienced, and participants will create new methods of their own.�This workshop is appropriate for mental health practitioners who work with children, adolescents, and families�with a wide range of difficulties, and who conduct both individual and group interventions. The material and�activities are beneficial for both advanced and novice play therapists.�

Therapist self-care is an essential part of being a skilled and effective practitioner. In addition to a�source of clinical knowledge and skills, this seminar with Dr. VanFleet is an opportunity for you to�experience self-care and self-development under the guidance of a master play therapist.�

Learning Objectives:�Participants will be able to…�1. Tap into their own playfulness and spontaneity and explore their use to enhance their therapeutic�effectiveness.�2. Use humor and lightness effectively with parents and families.�3. Describe the 7 affective systems in the brain and how the seeking and play systems can facilitate problem-�resolution and well-being.�4. Develop new play therapy techniques attuned to their clients’ needs.�5. Use materials at hand to expand their therapeutic flexibility for a wide range of therapeutic circumstances.�6. Conduct a variety of play therapy techniques for some of the most difficult problems.�7. Enhance their competence and confidence in the essential features of play therapy, regardless of specific�modality or setting in which it is used.�
