The workshop will focus on understanding how to use expressive play therapy with children and adolescents with an emphasis on using sandtray. Typical child and adolescent patterns of sandtray will be discussed. Each participant will do 2-3 individual sandtrays daily as well as experience how to use art, puppets, writing, music and other expressive modalities with this population. John utilizes a client-centered sandtray approach. The Beginning Expressive Sandtray Therapy workshop and Advanced Expressive Sandtray Therapy workshop are required prerequisites for this course.
At the end of the workshop participants will be able to:
• Explain adolescent developmental play therapy sandtray patterns
• Discuss the use of the Hero’s Journey in expressive play therapy
• Explain latency age developmental play therapy sandtray patterns
• Demonstrate the therapist’s roles while working with children and adolescents in play therapy
