ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
This workshop
explores human experience as expressed through the images that appear in play
therapy sessions. Lecture and experiential activities will be used to
demonstrate the symbolic content within play activities, drawing, sandplay,
stories, and other expressive activities that are essential components of play
therapy. The workshop will examine the themes played out in therapy through the
relationship between the conscious and unconscious content. The importance of
personal, idiosyncratic meaning for the symbols and images are viewed in the
context of traditional symbolic meaning and the mythical significance of images.
Being able to grasp these deeper imaginal implications increases our
understanding of emotions, behaviours, thoughts, symptoms and presenting
problems the psyche presents to us in the play therapy
session.
