Peer Play Psychotherapy is an attachment-based therapeutic model that utilizes dynamics of peer relationships to strengthen social-emotional development for young children, 2 – 5 years old. This presentation, “Peer Play Psychotherapy: Unlocking the Power of Peer Relationships,” will explore the theoretical foundations, practical applications, and benefits of integrating peer attachment relationships into therapeutic interventions for young children.
Attendees will be able to:
- Explain the elements of attachment theory that serve as the foundation of Peer Play Psychotherapy
- Assess the mental health, behavioral and developmental needs of young children and form appropriate groups
- Utilize psychotherapeutic techniques to create an emotionally responsive environment, where young children learn to negotiate peer relationships
- Monitor and evaluate the progress of children engaged in Peer Play Psychotherapy using standardized screenings
- Collaborate with parents, caregivers, and teachers to reinforce social-emotional skills established in the peer playgroup
