The purpose of this study is to analysis the tendency of adaptive and conflicted strategies used by children at their play therapy sessions. The subjects were 6 children with emotional and behavioral problems resulting from mother-child attachment relationship problems. All 16 sessions were ran for 50 minutes once a week by a therapist for every children. The whole sessions of play therapy was divided into four periods for assessing changes in using the strategies; initial(1-4session), middleⅠ(5-8session), middleⅡ(9-12 session), and the last(13-16session). Total of 96 sessions recorded were analyzed by two trained observers. The results showed that the frequencies of the adaptive strategies increased gradually through all the periods. The strategies like adaptation, affiliation, and anticipation were used the most, however sublimation, suppression, and problem-solving strategies were rarely used. In the conflicted strategies, there was a gradual increase from initial to middleⅠ& Ⅱ period, but there was a rapid reduction from middleⅡ to the last one. The conflicted strategies children used the most were projection, regression, and rationalization. On the other hand, children used somatization, repression, and isolation strategies very few. There were individual differences in the use of the strategies.
