The Use of Drawings in the Oaklander Approach to Gestalt Play Therapy
Objective:
OPD Points: 5
Outline:
In this workshop, I will reinforce the value of a playful and creative approach to therapy, based on the work of Dr. Violet Oaklander. I will demonstrate through both theory and practice how a playful and creative approach to therapy can help enliven, sharpen, and make more authentic the therapeutic encounter, both between the therapist and the client, as well as between the client and the sometimes surprising aspects of the self that are discovered through play and art: Paradoxically, play and art can make therapy more real. In addition to theory and research, we will focus in this workshop on a set of drawings that can be used with clients of all ages to enhance therapeutic contact and allow relevant content to emerge and be explored in a way that provides new perspectives and possibilities.
