“…For example, Post (1999) used a line graph to demonstrate self-esteem scores for experimental and control groups. Phillips and Landreth (1998) and Duff (1996) used bar graphs to present their results. In another study, researchers used a line graph to demonstrate growth in literacy skills (Draper, White, O'Shaughnessy, Flynt, & Jones, 2001).…”

Research articles published in the International Journal of Play Therapy (1JPT) were examined to investigate the use of selected statistical practices in quantitative inferential studies. The current article examined whether researchers (a) verified methodological assumptions of statistical analyses, (b) reported confidence intervals, (c) discussed the risk of experimentwise Type I error, (d) preferred univariate analyses to multivariate analyses, (e) used univariate analyses as post hoc methods to detect multivariate effects, and (e) screened data and reported findings with graphical displays. Recommendations for improved statistical practice are provided.In 1996, the Board of Scientific Affairs of the American Psychological Association (APA) convened the Task Force on Statistical Inference (TFSI) committee. The Task Force was created, primarily, in response to increasing debate regarding the value and role of statistical significance testing as a means for evaluating research outcomes. The committee was asked, therefore, "to elucidate some of the controversial

“…Research indicates that play therapists often encounter family issues (Kranz, Kottman, & Lund, 1998; Ryan, Gomory, & Lacasse, 2002; Tsai & Ray, 2011), and family therapists often encounter families who are experiencing issues with their young children (Doherty & Simmons, 1996; Hines, 1996). In addition, surveys of play therapists (Haslam & Harris, 2011; Phillips & Landreth, 1998) and family therapists (Sori & Sprenkle, 2004) indicate that practitioners within these fields believe in the importance of providing services that meaningfully involve family members.…”

A Filial Therapy Model Through a Family Therapy Lens

The call for family-centered therapeutic services, especially for families of young children, has come from governmental organizations, professional associations, practitioners, and families. Play therapists and family therapists are prime candidates to provide such services, but professional research and literature suggest that practitioners within these fields tend to exclude members of the family system. This had led some to propose filial therapy, an outgrowth of child-centered play therapy, as a means of meaningfully integrating parents and children in treatment. However, play therapists may have difficultly conceptualizing from a family systems lens, while family therapists may struggle to see the theoretical compatibility of filial therapy with their systemic views. This article demonstrates the conceptual overlap between filial therapy and the major family therapy models with the goal of encouraging play therapists and family therapists to answer the call to provide family-centered services.

“…While the provision of therapy has been demonstrated to be more effective than no treatment, few models have been studied with empirical rigor (Cohen et al, 2006;Corcoran & Pillai, 2008;Kazdin & Weisz, 1998;Phillips & Landreth, 1998;Skowron & Reinemann, 2005). Moreover, only one treatment meets Chambless and Hollon's (1998) criteria for empirically supported treatments for treating CSA: trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT; King et al, 1999;Saunders, Berliner, & Hanson, 2004).…”

This preliminary investigation examined the efficacy of a game-based cognitive-behavioral therapy group program for elementary school-aged children who have experienced sexual abuse. Treatment aimed to improve: (a) internalizing symptoms, (b) externalizing behaviors, (c) sexually inappropriate behaviors, (d) social skills deficits, (e) self-esteem problems, and (f) knowledge of healthy sexuality and self-protection skills. Results indicate that game-based cognitive-behavioral therapy was effective for improving internalizing and externalizing symptoms, reducing sexually inappropriate behaviors, and improving children's knowledge of abuse and self-protection skills. Although results pointed in a positive direction for social skills and self-perception, these findings were not statistically significant. Clinical significance was also evaluated to assess the clinical utility of treatment effects. Treatment implications of the findings and future research directions are discussed.
