Theraplay® was first developed in 1967 at The Theraplay® Institute
in Chicago, Illinois. It is used in many therapy, childcare and educational
settings throughout the U.S. and abroad. The Theraplay® Institute provides
assessment and treatment for families, consultation to social service and child
welfare organizations, and training in Theraplay® for professionals.
The method has also been adapted for use in groups.
Theraplay® is a structured play therapy for children and their parents.
Its goal is to enhance attachment, self-esteem, trust in others and joyful
engagement. Children are referred for a wide variety of problems including
withdrawn or depressed behaviour, overactive-aggressive behaviour, temper
tantrums, phobias, and difficulty socialising and making friends.
Children are also referred for various behaviour and interpersonal problems
resulting from learning disabilities, developmental delays, and pervasive
developmental disorders. Because of its focus on attachment and also relationship
development, Theraplay® has been used successfully for many years with foster and adoptive
families. With this method, family interaction patterns have changed and schools
and paediatricians have reported improved behaviour and reduced symptomatology
in children. The same treatment techniques, extending over a longer period
of time, are used with developmentally disordered and autistic children. It
has been our experience that even in the rare cases where parents/caregivers
can not be involved, Theraplay® is still of benefit to the child.
The 5-day course encompasses a 3-day introductory training, a 1-day assessment
training and a 1-day group Theraplay® training.
