From Piaget, we gain an understanding of the symbolism in child’s play. Play is central to the development of a child and can also teach us a great deal about their thoughts, feelings and experiences that they are not developmentally able to verbalize.

Along with her contemporaries, Hug-Hellmuth began developing the basis for play therapy as she engaged troubled children in talk and play. Even though there are now many theoretical perspectives for play therapy, there several main assumptions about children that span the varied approaches: children are resilient, they are oriented toward growth, they are worthy of respect, they people capable of experiencing both joy and pain, among others. Child-centered play therapy and cognitive-behavioral play therapy are two popular approaches that are discussed in this paper along with their respective theoretical bases and methodologies for treatment.…
