Component #5: Play Therapy

For each of the following scenarios, decide which of the play therapy skills described in the Vernon text (tracking, restating content, reflecting feelings, returning responsibility to the child, using the child’s metaphor, and limit setting) you would use to respond to the child. Generate several different responses to each one, remembering that you can combine several kinds of skills in a single response.

1. Glenda, a 6-year-old, was referred because she seems to be extremely distressed about her parents’ recent divorce. She comes into her third play therapy session frowning and crying, sits down, and says, “I hate my mom. I wanted to play, and she made me come here.”

 

2. Lee Su (7) is a Chinese American. She has been referred for getting into repeated fights on the playground, which she has contended are started by other people. She arranges the green soldiers in one line and the tan soldiers in another line, and (with lots of sound effects – yelling ethnic slurs, screaming in pain) has the tan soldiers wipe out the green soldiers. As she is doing this, she seems to get angrier and angrier.
3. Christina, an 8-year-old whose presenting problem is anxiety and depression, begins to draw a picture, turns to you, and says, “I am going to paint this picture for you. What do you want me to paint?”
