INTRODUCTION

Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy is a therapeutic intervention that adapts CBT techniques in a play setting with children who take an active role in the process of change and problem mastery.

It is based on cognitive and behavioral theories of emotional development and psychopathology and defines an integrated psychotherapy model that incorporates empirically supported techniques with the use of play therapy (Knell, 1993; Geraci, 2022).

Cognitive behavioral play therapy has clear guidelines that guide the clinician to design an effective intervention for various issues

Much emphasis is placed on the use and choice of tools for structured intervention. In children, language is not yet fully developed; consequently, one of the greatest challenges in therapy is to find alternatives to sophisticated language.

These
 guidelines are based on the organization of specific phases of therapy, the conceptualization of the case, and the integration of CBT techniques into play therapy (CBT play therapy).

In cognitive behavioral play therapy puppetsstuffed animals, books, art materials, and other play therapy toys are tools used to model children’s behaviors and cognitive strategies.

The play therapy tools, which mediate the use of CBT techniques, can act as models or verbalize problem-solving skills or possible solutions to the problem, similar to that of the child. So, these tools are more accessible to children and respond to the needs and capabilities of their cognitive and emotional development. In particular, they help children achieve personal growth and emotional processing and enable the processing of traumatic events and experiences through a medium that is natural and comfortable for them.

In Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy:

  •  Play therapy activities, as well as non-verbal forms of verbal communication, are used to promote the development of problem solving skills.
  •  A conceptual framework conceptual framework is proposed based on the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy, and making them appropriate to the child’s developmental level.

Through Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy, it is possible to learn more adaptive coping skills and offer structured and goal-oriented activities

  • It also provides a space where the child can bring out a spontaneous contribution in the session and successfully express their experiences.
  • The design of specific play therapy interventions for young children facilitates their direct involvement in therapy
  • By providing these types of developmental interventions, the psychotherapist helps children benefit from a type of psychotherapy that may otherwise be inaccessible to them.
