Abstract

|
The purpose of this study was to understand the changes in perceptions of therapeutic attitudes (congruence, empathy, unconditionality, and regard) of play therapists-in-training. Additionally, therapeutic progress and outcomes of child clients in relation to such perceptional changes of therapeutic attitudes were analyzed. A single case design was utilized, and two therapist-child dyads were recruited. Perceptional changes of therapeutic attitudes was assessed with the Barrett-Lennard Relationship Inventory: Form MO-40 by therapists. The effectiveness of child-centered play therapy was assessed using the Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 6-18 by parents. Data was analyzed through visual analysis, regression analysis, and qualitative analysis. Over the first play therapy practicum during a graduate course, both play therapists-in-training perceived that the level and trend of congruence, empathy, and unconditionality increased, while the variability of those conditions fluctuated. Clients exhibited progress and showed a reduction in clinical levels of presenting problems. These findings suggest a number of implications to help promoting professional development of play therapists-in-training.
