Describe at least 10 play therapy techniques to use with children, families or groups.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>When everyday crises or traumatic events occur, such as a developmental challenges, losses, natural disasters or acts of violence, victims are left with a sense of loss, sorrow, and disbelief. However, immediately following such an event, victims become survivors and it is important to help promote healthy attachment and resilience. The approach not only values attachment and resilience, but also acknowledges the possibility of positive change, or posttraumatic growth; a result of the struggle associated with the crisis or event. The workshop will focus on a play-based crisis intervention model to use with children and families in times of crisis. The interventions are beneficial in helping children and families to normalize reactions, generate helpful coping behaviors and thoughts, modify misattributions and cognitive distortions, increase self-soothing, decrease isolation and withdrawal, reinforce the ability to seek helpful social support, and to leave children and families with a sense of hope.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Anne Stewart is Professor of Graduate Psychology at James Madison University.
