Questions and Answers
What is the Theory of Play Therapy? - Answer-Child-centered play therapy is an attitude, a
philosophy, and a way of being with children rather than a way of doing something to or for
children.
What is the Personality Structure? - Answer-1. The Person - everything the child is, including
thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and physical being.
2. The Phenomenal Field - everything the child experiences; what the child perceives to be
occurring is reality for the child (subjective world).
3. The Self - grows and changes as a result of continuing interaction with the phenomenal field.
What are the Key Concepts? - Answer-- Basic philosophy of the innate human capacity of
children to strive toward growth and maturity.
- An attitude of deep and abiding belief in children's ability to be constructively self-directing.
- Children have a far greater capacity for self-directing than is readily recognized, and they are
capable of making appropriate decisions.
- (The perfectly behaved child may not be well adjusted. They may be scared of doing anything.
May end up acting out later on in life.)
Describe Adjustment and Maladjustment: - Answer-- The inner drive toward self-realization and
affirmation of the worthwhileness of self are basic needs, and each child is striving continually to
satisfy these needs.
- All maladjustments result from an incongruence between what is actually experiences and the
concept of the self.
What are Therapeutic Conditions for Growth? - Answer-1. Genuineness - being real, a basic
and fundamental attitude that is a way of being rather than a way of doing.
2. Warm Caring and Acceptance - preceded by the play therapist's acceptance of self; an
extension of the therapist, an attitude and way of being as well.
3. Empathy - sensitive understanding; children are NOT free to explore, to test boundaries, to
share frightening parts of their lives, or to change until they experience a relationship in which
their subjective experiential world is understood and accepted.
