Apa itu terapi bermain?

• Play therapy refers to a method of psychotherapy with children in which a therapist uses a child's fantasies and the symbolic meanings of his or her play as a medium for understanding and communication with the child.

• Children communicate their thoughts and feelings through play more naturally than they do through verbal communication. As the child plays, the therapist begins to recognize themes and patterns or ways of using the materials that are important to the child. Over time, the clinician helps the child begin to make meaning out of the play.

• The aim of play therapy sessions is that the child will have opportunities for developing an understanding of how to deal with difficult situations and emotions within a safe environment with a supportive adult. In successful therapy the child learns about themselves and their thoughts and feelings, and can transfer this learning from the playroom into day to day life.
