About the event
Play therapists face numerous complex ethical dilemmas involving both children,
their caregivers, and their families. These dilemmas raise emotional responses,
intuitiveness, and sensations in the body as conflict arises in the play therapist
surrounding how to respond. Expressive modalities will be used for processing
dilemmas of the past and preparation for those in the future.
This training will utilize Texas state licensing Rules, Codes of Ethics, How to User
Guides, and APT Best Practice guidelines with 15+ play therapy vignettes involving
ethical dilemmas. Special emphasis will be given to the following areas within APT
Best Practice Guidelines; the therapeutic relationship; parents and family;
confidentiality; professional responsibility; relationship with other professionals;
evaluation, assessment, and interpretation; supervision and consultation;
technology and telehealth.
For those gray areas when there isn’t clarity of rules, codes, how to user guides,
and guidelines, participants will have the opportunity to select from five personal
moral decision-making models to apply to their own play therapy practices.
Current research and recommendations for play therapy practice will be included.
1. Select from expressive modalities to process past and future emotional
responses and sensations in the body
2. Identify up to date Texas Ethics rules and code of ethics for LPC, LMFT, and
LSW licenses applied to play therapy
3. Apply APT Best Practice guidelines with 15+ play therapy vignettes
4. Describe current research for play therapy practice, recommendations, and
guidelines of boards and associations regarding the use of social media and
telehealth sessions
5. Select from five moral decision-making models to use with ethical
dilemmas in play therapy practice
6. Evaluate personal play therapy professional practices with current rules,
recommendations, and guidelines
