    Partnering with Parents in the Play Therapy Process with the Brain in Mind

    presented by Dalena Dillman Taylor, PhD, LMHC, Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor™

    Working with parents in the play therapy process can be challenging. And the first six years of life are the most influential period of neuronal growth and the most vulnerable to maltreatment. Whereas, many parents want a quick fix, therapy takes time. In this interactive, experiential workshop, the presenter will discuss how to engage parents in effective discipline practices that are grounded in relationship based on their child’s specific needs; examine play therapy and parent consultations through a neuroscientific lens, specifically the Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) framework pioneered by Dan Siegel (2012); outline specific interventions to be used in parent consultations that are complimentary to neuroscience research that supports the positive growth of children, and guide participants in connecting these philosophies through case examples, activities, and discussion in their work with parents.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES: After attending this workshop, participants will be able to:  

    1. Name the four phases of Adlerian play therapy
    2. Describe at least two parent-specific skills for parent consultations in the play therapy process
    3. Link IPNB levels to the Adlerian play therapy phases
    4. Describe unique techniques to respond to the different personality priorities in parent consultations

          Session limited to 50 participants.
