Play is the most natural form of self-expression in children. This workshop will present an overview of the therapeutic properties of play with a specific focus on cognitive-behavioral play therapy. The application of this goal-oriented, structured approach to clinical work with children, as well as adolescents, will be discussed. Specific cognitive-behavioral play therapy techniques, play materials, and the role of the clinician will be illustrated through the use of case material and participant involvement.
