Play Therapy Documentation Essentials: A Child-Centered Approach to Case Conceptualization and Treatment Planning

It’s no secret that therapists usually don’t love the process of documentation. While necessary, things like written intake assessments, treatment plans, progress notes, and termination summaries are often thought of as administrative tasks that take crucial time away from clinical practice, not to mention that these practices run counter to the theoretical foundation of child—centered play therapy (CCPT)—that the child should be at the center of the treatment, and not the desired behavioral outcome.

What if we told you it was possible to create a documentation practice, including treatment planning and assessment of progress, that is centered on the client and meets the needs of insurance companies and caregivers alike?

Play Therapy Documentation Essentials: A Child—Centered Approach to Case Conceptualization and Treatment Planning is the result of years of research and application by dedicated play therapist and Director of Seattle Play Therapy, Rosie Newman. Masterfully organized, easy to use, and filled with practical tools and worksheets, this resource is a must—have for all play therapists committed to building a thriving practice by providing the best experience for their clients and the caregivers supporting them.
