(HS Lowenstein 058931 2022) Creative Interventions for Engaging Resistant Children in Play Therapy

Course overview

The challenge of working with children can be further compounded by their fear of entering therapy, their lack of control over the decision to attend therapy, their feeling of being scapegoated for family problems, their lack of motivation for treatment, and their developmental capacity which can make it difficult for them to respond to traditional talk-therapy. Liana Lowenstein has helped thousands of therapists around the world learn how to connect with children in person and online. The first step in working with hard to engage clients is understanding the reasons underlying their resistance, and the second step involves engaging children in the therapeutic process. View Liana Lowenstein, internationally recognized author and presenter, as she outlines various factors that underlie therapeutic resistance and shares interventions to engage children in therapy and maximize potential for change. Emphasis will be on innovative play therapy techniques including therapeutic games, art, and stories!
