Treating Trauma in Play Therapy: Interpersonal Neurobiology Approach
Part I: Attachment and Trauma
Description: When treating a child who has experienced trauma, research indicates one of the
most important aspects of treatment is the relationship between the child and the play therapist. The ability to relate to one another is influenced by our early
experiences of attachment to a primary caregiver. This workshop will describe the
four primary styles of attachment. A child’s attachment style will influence the
interaction between him/her and the play therapist. Also patterns of attachment
greatly influence the ability to heal from traumatic experiences. This workshop will
also briefly explore the attachment style of play therapists and how that impacts
their interactions with clients. Videos of clients with different attachment styles will
be used for demonstration.
Participants will:
- Describe the four styles of attachment seen in play therapy.
- Explain how attachment styles impact behaviors in play therapy.
- Identify how attachment styles influence healing in trauma in play therapy.
