Brief historic overview
Historically, Play Therapy (PT) has emerged from the conceptual understandings found in
psychoanalytic and humanistic psychology, psychotherapy and child development literature. In Europe
in the early 1900s, Melanie Klein and Anna Freud (the daughter of Sigmund Freud) included play in
their psychoanalytic treatment of children.
In 1935, Margaret Lowenfeld first published Play in Childhood documenting her in-depth observations
of children whilst working at the ‘Clinic for nervous and difficult children’ in London. In the United
States, Virginia Axline focused her work on conceptualising and documenting Non Directive Play
Therapy (NDPT) by drawing from the humanistic and relational perspective of her teacher and
colleague Carl Rogers (Axline, 1969). Rogers (1951) was instrumental in establishing treatment plans
based on necessary and sufficient conditions for growth. These included therapeutic congruence,
unconditional positive regard, empathic understanding and acceptance.
From these beginnings, several different theoretical models of PT have emerged. Based on Axline’s
principles, the most well-known is Non-Directive or Child-Centred Play Therapy (CCPT) which has
been further developed by Garry Landreth and colleagues and integrated into teaching parents or
guardians the principles found in CCPT, known as Filial Play.

Children with Down syndrome displayed less problematic behaviors than expected in an observational study. The 10 children interacted well with each other and teachers, expressing emotions through facial expressions and body language rather than words. They enjoyed group activities and play. While they became upset if someone took their things or spoke aggressively, they calmed down easily with affection. The children's behaviors seemed linked more to environmental stimuli than their medical condition alone.
The document summarizes a presentation by two experts in child psychology and interventions. Dr. Larry Radner is a licensed clinical psychologist who uses play therapy to help children express their feelings and improve relationships. Emily Stevens is a school psychologist who works to identify learning disabilities resulting from social and emotional issues using a neuropsychological approach. Disruptions in a child's thoughts or feelings can lead to problems in school. The experts discussed different assessments and interventions to help children with emotional disturbances and learning disabilities.
Games for Health - Rutger Engels - Developing games for emotional health of c...Games for Health Europe
This document discusses improving mental health through evidence-based games, especially for youth. It notes the high prevalence and costs of mental health disorders. Games show promise as engaging interventions but need rigorous testing to be accepted. The document advocates for randomized controlled trials to test games' effects on symptoms and real-life application. It also stresses considering potential placebo effects and gaining professionals' acceptance by demonstrating games complement rather than replace treatment.
The document discusses several definitions and models of abnormality and mental illness:
1. Abnormality is defined as deviations from social norms, failures to function adequately, and deviations from ideal mental health.
2. Four models of abnormality are presented: the biological model which sees abnormalities as malfunctions in the brain; the psychodynamic model which focuses on unconscious psychological forces; the behavioral model which emphasizes learned behaviors; and the cognitive model related to human thought patterns.
3. Limitations of the definitions and models are discussed, such as the influence of culture and individual situations. Overall, the document seeks to explore different perspectives on what constitutes abnormal or disordered behavior and thought.
Play therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses play to communicate with and help children, especially those aged 3 to 11, prevent or resolve psychosocial issues. The goals of play therapy include enhancing a child's self-control, self-concept, and relationships with adults. There are two main types: directive play therapy, where the therapist guides discussion of topics and sometimes participates in play; and non-directive therapy, where the child leads free play and the therapist later interprets themes. Common toys and activities include dolls, puppets, sand trays, and art for expressing feelings.
Play therapy was introduced in Europe in the 1920s by Anna Freud. It allows children to manipulate their world on a smaller scale through play to express feelings and cope with emotions in a non-punitive environment. Theoretical underpinnings include humanistic psychology, attachment theory, and talk therapy. Assessment techniques involve activities like drawing, music, clay modeling, storytelling, and puppets. Evaluation focuses on developing coping skills, and termination involves reviewing progress. While critics question its empirical support, meta-analyses show it is as effective as psychotherapy for children with effect sizes of 0.66 to 0.93 compared to no treatment. Number of sessions, parental involvement, and specific toys can increase effectiveness.
Play is a child's way of living and developing. Play therapy uses play to help children communicate and resolve psychosocial issues. There are two main types of play: active play where children enjoy an activity, and passive play where they enjoy watching. Play therapy has advantages like helping sensorimotor, intellectual, social and creative development, as well as releasing stress. The play therapy team includes psychologists, play leaders, doctors and social workers. Toys should be age-appropriate, non-toxic, and used with supervision to benefit children's development and well-being.
The document discusses various therapeutic techniques used in psychiatry including play therapy, music therapy, dance therapy, recreational therapy, light therapy, and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation.

Psychodrama is a therapeutic technique developed in the 1930s involving role playing and dramatic enactments to help clients gain insight and behavioral skills. It allows clients to explore problems by acting out scenarios in a safe environment. The key elements are a protagonist, auxiliary roles, audience, director, and stages of warm up, enactment, and discussion. Techniques include role reversal, doubling, and future projections. While effective, it requires trained facilitators and may not be suitable for all clients or settings.
This document provides information about a talk on memory and techniques to change memories. It discusses how memory works, common myths about memory, how early experiences shape beliefs and character, and problems that can arise in the present from past memories. It then describes a technique called Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) that uses eye movements to access and update memories in order to reduce their emotional impact and change how the memory is processed in the brain. Exercises are provided where participants work with a partner to identify memories and submodalities and then use eye movements to change aspects of the memory.

The document discusses neuroplasticity and its potential role in treating ADHD as an alternative to medications like Ritalin. It notes that while Ritalin is commonly prescribed, the long term effects are uncertain and it may negatively impact children's lives. The document proposes exploring executive functions and how they can be developed through neuroplasticity in order to find an alternative treatment method for ADHD.
Guided Imagery to Overcome Anxiety by Dr. Mallika Meinholdatocmarketing
This document discusses guided imagery and its benefits for children dealing with anxiety. It begins by providing context on guided imagery and its origins in humanistic psychology. It then discusses how guided imagery works, describing how suggestions engage all the senses to induce a relaxed yet focused altered state. Research findings show guided imagery can reduce anxiety symptoms and positively impact brain structure/functioning. The document provides examples of simple guided imagery exercises and demonstrations that can be used with children.
This document discusses various approaches to therapy for children and adolescents. It notes that over 230 therapeutic techniques are used but many have not been empirically validated. Approaches discussed include modified psychoanalytic therapy which uses play and reduced sessions rather than traditional analysis due to children's limited capacity for introspection. Play therapy is also covered, where a child's play is interpreted to help them express feelings. Behavior therapy techniques like desensitization are discussed as highly efficient options where parents and teachers can be trained to help ensure changes generalize. The document stresses the importance of empirically validating treatments for children.

This document provides an overview of using expressive arts and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to treat adolescent anxiety. It discusses key CBT concepts like the relationships between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Various CBT tools and techniques are presented for assessing and addressing anxiety, such as thought records, SUD scales, and exposure exercises. Case studies demonstrate integrating art-based activities into CBT treatment to engage clients and provide insight. The document emphasizes that art therapy complements CBT by accomplishing similar goals of developing healthy thinking and behaviors through creative means.

This guideline is directed principally toward new Molecular Entities that are
likely to have significant use in the elderly, either because the disease intended
to be treated is characteristically a disease of aging ( e.g., Alzheimer's disease) or
because the population to be treated is known to include substantial numbers of
geriatric patients (e.g., hypertension).
Milan J. Anadkat, MD, and Dale V. Reisner discuss generalized pustular psoriasis in this CME activity titled "Supporting Patient-Centered Care in Generalized Pustular Psoriasis: Communications Strategies to Improve Shared Decision-Making." For the full presentation, please visit us at www.peervoice.com/HUM870.
This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.

CLASSIFICATION OF H1 ANTIHISTAMINICS-
FIRST GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-
1)HIGHLY SEDATIVE-DIPHENHYDRAMINE,DIMENHYDRINATE,PROMETHAZINE,HYDROXYZINE 2)MODERATELY SEDATIVE- PHENARIMINE,CYPROHEPTADINE, MECLIZINE,CINNARIZINE
3)MILD SEDATIVE-CHLORPHENIRAMINE,DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE
TRIPROLIDINE,CLEMASTINE
SECOND GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-FEXOFENADINE,
LORATADINE,DESLORATADINE,CETIRIZINE,LEVOCETIRIZINE,
AZELASTINE,MIZOLASTINE,EBASTINE,RUPATADINE. Mechanism of action of 2nd generation antihistaminics-
These drugs competitively antagonize actions of
histamine at the H1 receptors.
Pharmacological actions-
Antagonism of histamine-The H1 antagonists effectively block histamine induced bronchoconstriction, contraction of intestinal and other smooth muscle and triple response especially wheal, flare and itch. Constriction of larger blood vessel by histamine is also antagonized.
2) Antiallergic actions-Many manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (type I reactions)are suppressed. Urticaria, itching and angioedema are well controlled.3) CNS action-The older antihistamines produce variable degree of CNS depression.But in case of 2nd gen antihistaminics there is less CNS depressant property as these cross BBB to significantly lesser extent.
4) Anticholinergic action- many H1 blockers
in addition antagonize muscarinic actions of ACh. BUT IN 2ND gen histaminics there is Higher H1 selectivitiy : no anticholinergic side effects

42. What the therapist does:
The goal of the therapist is to create a trusting
relationship by giving close attention to the
child’s sharing of his thoughts and feelings
through play. The attitude of the therapist is
intensely interested, open ad accepting of the
child. In child centered play interactions the
therapist relates to child in a way that is
different from how people usually relate to
children. Here the child determines the
direction of the interaction. The therapist
follows and reflects the actions, thoughts and
Stephanie Pratola, Ph.D...
feelings that the child shares.

Editor's Notes
Example: A client that refuses to talk about feelings with adults….will express feelings in their play. Various levels of therapist response are: reflect on the play, respond in the play moment, talk about the play with the child, interpret the meaning of the play to the child.
