The purpose of this study is to investigate clinical characteristics and attribution of children treated with play therapy for developmental, behavioral, and emotional disorders. Subjects of this study were 118 three- to nine-year-old children randomly selected from children who were receiving or already completed play therapy at one of the child and family counseling centers in Cheong-Ju City. The results showed that the cognitive level was lower in children with developmental disorder than children with emotional or behavioral disorder. The cognitive level of children with emotional or behavioral disorder was proper. Children with emotional disorder were superior in terms of linguistic expression and logical development, and children with behavioral disorder were superior in the creativity level of play expression. Children with developmental disorder showed very inappropriate levels of clinical profiles: use, extension, logic, and general areas. Children with behavioral disorder showed proper levels of extension, contents, and creativity although their level of logic was inappropriate. In addition, children with emotional disorder showed very appropriate levels of use, logic, and linguistic comprehension and expression, but their levels of extension and creativity were inappropriate.
