Grief and Attachment through a Gestalt Play Therapy Lens
presented by Renee Turner, PhD, LPC-S, Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor™
Despite the natural occurrence of grief, clinicians wrestle with treating the nuanced and pervasive effects of grief, especially disenfranchised, traumatic, and non-death grief. In this workshop, attendees will conceptualize complex grief in children through a Gestalt Play Therapy lens. Attendees will identify attachment-focused, play and art-based engagements to address grief and unfinished business.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: After attending this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Differentiate between types of losses (i.e., death vs. non-death; disenfranchised; complicated) that present in the playroom
- Identify play themes and play behaviors consistent in grieving children
- Describe Gestalt Play Therapy engagements to address disenfranchised grief
Session limited to 50 participants.
