Introduction to Adlerian Play Therapy
This three-hour training introduces participants to the foundations of Adlerian play therapy, with emphasis on how children’s behavior, emotions, and play can be understood through the lenses of belonging, significance, encouragement, and discouragement. Grounded in the work of Terry Kottman, Kristin Meany-Walen, and Adlerian play therapy research, this training will explore the core assumptions of Adlerian play therapy, including the belief that children are socially embedded, behavior is purposeful, and children develop private logic about themselves, others, and the world.

This training will help play therapists understand children’s play as meaningful communication and use Adlerian play therapy principles to support connection, courage, capability, felt significance, insight, and reorientation in the therapeutic process.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
1. Identify at least four foundational assumptions of Adlerian play therapy and describe how these assumptions inform the play therapist’s understanding of children’s behavior, emotions, and relational patterns.
2. Differentiate the Crucial Cs, personality priorities, and goals of misbehavior as Adlerian play therapy concepts used to conceptualize children’s needs, private logic, and attempts to experience belonging and significance.
3. Apply Adlerian play therapy concepts to a child case example by describing how play themes, relational patterns, and observed behaviors may reflect discouragement, unmet relational needs, personality priorities, or mistaken goals of behavior. Less...
