Play therapy is a counseling approach for children applying toys, games, and other play media to communicate to the children "language." One of the Play therapy models that combine ecosystems as being formed by an inseparable reciprocal relationship between living things, and their environment is Eco systemic Play Therapy (EPT). Ecosystem Play Therapy as a hybrid model that integrates the concepts of science biology, several models of child psychotherapy, and developmental theories. This model is not eclectic. Rather, it is the integration of several models to create an independent model that is different from the sum of its parts. The focus of EPT is on the process of optimizing the implementation of the child's function as the context of the child's ecosystem or world. EPT is developed from a phenomenological philosophical perspective, in contrast to traditional perspectives.

“…In clinical settings, art therapists use clay-work (Sholt & Gavron, 2006) to treat individuals with a host of mental health disorders. For example: the egoresilience of low-SES teenagers (Jang & Choi, 2012); pre-school children with anxiety (Rahmani & Moheb, 2010); adults with negative feelings (Kimport & Robbins, 2012); adults with depression and anxiety (de Morais et al, 2014); emotional distress in patients with Parkinson's Disease (ElkisAbuhoff, Goldblatt, Gaydos, & Corrato, 2008); and anxiety, fear, and aggression among the visually impaired (Herrmann, 1995).…”

In this article, three co-authors share their narratives and clay figurines sculpted during the Mesoamerican Figurine Project of Rio Hondo College (Garcia, in press-a). Through reflective writing exercises and the sculpting of small-scale clay figurines, Los Angeles-based MexicanAmerican students unearthed parts of their Mesoamerican ancestry and materialized their stories of displacement and violence to assist in meeting student learning outcomes (SLOs). After interpreting these data alongside the medical tools observed on the four Tezcatlipocas of Mesoamerica (Acosta, 2007), the supposition is that Indigenous Mesoamerican students benefit when engaged through the following topics: 1) land and cosmology, 2) trauma and medicine, 3) resiliency and self-determination, and 4) community and family. To support all students' educational and mental health goals, and to prevent further trauma accumulation, the Mesoamerican figurine is modeled as a pedagogical tool with a wide range of therapeutic values.By employing a critical autoethnographic approach (Ohito, 2017), Instructor Garcia's ancestral knowledge-combined with his students' insights-enabled his conceptualization of a medical archaeopedagogy of the human body as a trauma-informed teaching strategy (Cole, Eisner, Gregory, & Ristuccia, 2013) to begin to address the mental health challenges prevalent in the MexicanAmerican community related to the cultural genocide of Native Americans.
