Playing Fair: Ethics and Play Therapy – Webinar DVD
How Play Therapists Can Engage Parents and Professionals – Seminar DVD

In this Webinar, Dr. Jodi Ann Mullen PhD, LMHC, NCC, RPT-S discusses the ethics of Play Therapy, both Child-Centered and other approaches. Ethics are the guidelines and standards that ensure that a therapist is practicing and using their skills in an appropriate and responsible manner that allows for client healing and acceptance. In regards to Play Therapy, there are many ethical issues that must be considered by a play therapist as they work with their client, the client’s guardians, and other professionals involved in the client’s life. Some of these considerations deal with consultation, the client’s right to privacy and confidentiality, the use of techniques and skills in specific situations, and the image of the profession as both a mental health worker and a play therapist. Dr. Mullen goes into great depth as she explains the complex world of ethics and how it overlaps into the profession of a play therapist. The DVD includes video powerpoint, as well as an interactive feel with questions and responses given by the participants of the original Webinar. A must for any aspiring or current play therapist, regardless of style and approach!
In this seminar, Dr. Jodi Weinstein Mullen PhD, LMHC, NCC, RPT-S and June Rickli MS, LMHC, CCPT-S, RPT discuss the importance of consultation as a play therapist. They offer great insight into the use of consultation to improve the healing process with a child in play therapy, acknowledging that the work parents and other professionals do is as important as the work the child does, as well as the play therapist. Play therapy is not widely known or understood and it is part of the play therapist’s job to explain the work of play therapy, and also, offer a professional image of the practice. Working together creates a web of support for the child, and including others in the process allows all to share a larger picture of the child’s life and experience. This DVD has an interactive feel as seminar participants offer stories and their own insight into this complex and very important part of play therapy. This DVD offers many strategies and techniques that can help you expand and improve your work with parents/guardians and other professionals!
