Adlerian Play Therapy: Incorporating A Constellation of Creative Experiences

    Presenters: Linda Homeyer, PhD, LPC-S, RPT-S & Marshall Lyles, MA, LPC-S, LMFT-S, RPT-S

    Description:
    Based on the work of Alfred Adler, Adlerian Play Therapy (AdPT) is one of the most used forms of play therapy. Developed by Terry Kottman in the early 1990s, it provides a clinical theoretical approach to working with children and families. This 3-day, in person training will provide basic understanding of this clinical theory and how to apply that theoretical understanding to working in play and creative arts therapy. The topics covered will include working with individual children, siblings, parent/caregiver-child dyads, and families using traditional play and incorporating expressive arts into the phases of an Adlerian play therapy treatment plan.
