Frequently asked questions

How does PLAY6212 differ from PLAY6209?

PLAY6209 goes deep into one approach — child-centered play therapy — covering its history, theory, competencies, and practice in detail. PLAY6212 goes wide, examining how play therapy is applied across diverse settings (schools, group environments, families), with different client populations, and through various therapeutic models beyond the child-centered approach. Together the two courses ensure students have both depth in the field's dominant methodology and breadth across the range of contexts and populations they'll encounter in professional practice.
