Theraplay

 

Theraplay was Developed by:  Ann Jernberg, Ph.D.

 

Overview:  "The Theraplay approach assumes both that change is possible and that the essential ingredients of change lie in the creation of a more positive relationship between a child and her parents.  Because the roots of development of the self, of self esteem and trust lie in the early years, it is essential to return to the stage at which the child's emotional development was derailed and provide the experience which can restart the healthy cycle of interaction.  Activities are geared to the child's current emotional level rather than to chronological age.  Parents are encouraged to respond empathically to their child's needs.  The goal of treatment is to change the inner representation of the self and others from a negative to a more positive one."  ~ Excerpt from The Theraplay Institute
