“…Landreth (2012) suggested the frequency of counseling is often scheduled to meet the needs of therapists, rather than the emotional needs of clients who might benefit from more frequent services than once a week. Some studies have demonstrated improved effectiveness when increasing the number of counseling sessions, whether talk or play therapy, in the same or less amount of time Fiorentine & Anglin, 1996;Grskovic & Goetze, 2008;Kot, Landreth, & Giordano, 1998;Shen, 2002). More research is needed to explore the benefits and positive effects of increasing the number of therapy sessions in the same or shorter amount of time than typically delivered.…”

This study examined the effectiveness of intensive child-centered play therapy with children identified as having disruptive behaviors. Participants were recruited from public schools in the urban area of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia area. A total of 24 participants completed the study: 18 boys and 6 girls aged 6 to 9 years old (M ϭ 7); 17 Australian Caucasians, 1 English (U.K.) Caucasian, 1 Asian, 3 Hispanic/ Latino, and 2 Biracial. Participants were randomly assigned: 12 to the experimental group and 12 to the waitlist control group. Children in the experimental group received 20 intensive Child-centered play therapy (CCPT) sessions: twice daily for 10 days. For each child participant, a parent completed the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and a teacher completed the CBCL Teacher's Report Form (TRF) 3 times: at pretest, posttest, and 1-week follow-up. Results of factorial ANOVAs indicated a statistically significant interaction effect on CBCL Externalizing score, F(2, 44) ϭ 14.747, p Ͻ .001, with a large effect size of 2 ϭ .277. Results also indicated a statistically significant interaction effect on the TRF Externalizing score, F(2, 44) ϭ 4.042, p ϭ .024, with a large effect size of 2 ϭ .135. Therefore, both parents and teachers indicated that children with externalizing behaviors who received intensive CCPT showed a significant decrease in those behaviors.

“…Hence, more play therapists are needed to meet the needs of child clients (Porter, Hernandez-Reif, & Jessee, 2009). Moreover, many researchers have addressed the effectiveness of Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) training in helping play therapists improve their attitude, knowledge, and skills (Homeyer & Rae, 1999;Hunt, 2006;Kagan & Landreth, 2009;Kao & Chang, 2007;Kao & Landreth, 1997;Lindo et al, 2012;Shen, 2002;Shen & Herr, 2003). Their findings have shown positive impacts on the counseling profession and children with difficulties.…”

“…The results of the study found that 81 percent of participants agreed that play specialists are needed in helping children in hospital wards. Shen (2002) studied in a group format at a rural elementary school in Taiwan. The relationship between the children and the counselor helped to decrease the level of anxiety because of the sense of safety, security, permissiveness, and acceptance by the counselor, all based on the child-centered approach.…”

Play therapy in Malaysia is still in the early stages of development. This study investigated the effectiveness of Child-Centered Play Therapy by conducting 3-day training sessions in different part of Malaysia for a total of 116 participants including mental health students and practitioners. Four research questions guided this study in exploring the differences on the three subscales: attitude, knowledge, and skills in play therapy. A repeated measure design was used for the pre-test and post-test instruments. Results indicated statistically significantly differences between pre and post tests on the all subscales. In comparing students and practitioners, result indicated no statistically significantly differences for all subscales on the pre and post tests. However, there was a statistically significantly difference between participants with and without previous play therapy experiences on the knowledge and skills subscales for the pre and post tests. In addition, a correlation design show there was statistical significance between the relationships among the subscales. For future research, a design incorporating random assignment and a control group as well as differencing lengths of training session are planned.

Background Depression is common in young people, has a marked negative impact and is associated with self-harm and suicide. Preventing its onset would be an important advance in public health. Objectives To determine whether psychological or educational interventions, or both, are effective in preventing the onset of depressive disorder in children and adolescents. Search methods The Cochrane Depression, Anxiety and Neurosis Review Group's trials registers (CCDANCTR) were searched at the editorial base in July 2010. Update searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO and ERIC were conducted by the authors in September 2009. Conference abstracts, reference lists of included studies and reviews were searched and experts in the field contacted. Selection criteria Randomised controlled trials of psychological or educational prevention programmes, or both, compared with placebo, any comparison intervention, or no intervention for young people aged 5 to 19 years-old, who did not currently meet diagnostic criteria for depression or who were below the clinical range on standardised, validated, and reliable rating scales of depression, or both, were included. Data collection and analysis Two authors independently assessed studies for inclusion and rated their quality. Sample sizes were adjusted to take account of cluster designs and multiple comparisons. We contacted study authors for additional information where needed. 1 Psychological and educational interventions for preventing depression in children and adolescents (Review)
