Intensive Child-Centered Play Therapy in a Remote Australian Aboriginal Community
This article explores the significance of the mental process of children, for example; the psychological, emotional, social, and physical health of individual children is very crucial for adulthood. If any hindrance in their development, then it can still carry on to adulthood. In Aboriginal parts of Australia, a few studies have looked into mental treatment programs for children under the age of 12. They believe that difficulties in childhoods are conceived as negatives experiences that includes emotional impoverishment from a caregiver, mental illness, child abuse, chronic medical conditions, neglect, family violence, and absence of touch. Thus, the program has turned to Child-Centered Play Therapy and Intensive Child-Centered Play Therapy. Child-Centered Play Therapy is a mental health intervention that facilities children's growth through play. This type of Therapy helps by introducing children on how to work through traumatic experiences, emotional, behavioral, and psychological difficulties. Children that receive CCPT, help the parents and teachers receive education and skills in how to utilize child play therapy. Intensive Child-Centered Play Therapy is when child therapy is given one session a week, over a 10-week period. This study shows the effectiveness of ICCPT where a child had experienced trauma. In conclusion, this program shows that child play therapy has influenced children in a positive way. Through Intensive Child-Centered Play Therapy and Child-Centered Play Therapy, they are able to be mentally stable.
