Play Therapy Non - Directive
Non DirectivePlay TherapyEFFICACY Research is lacking on the overall effectiveness of using toys in non-directive play therapy.
Dell Lebo found that out of a sample of over 4,000 children, those who played with recommended toys vs non-recommended or no toys during non-directive play therapy were not more likely to verbally express themselves to the therapist. Recommended toys dolls or crayons
Non-recommended toys marbles or checker game.Other research shows that following specific criteria when choosing toys in non-directive play therapy can make treatment more efficacious.
Criteria for a desirable treatment toy include a toy that facilitates contact with the child, encourages catharsis and lead to play that can be easily interpreted by a therapist. Rasmussen and Cunningham argue that progress can take much longer than that of a more focused approach (directive play therapy).
