The exploratory study investigated the impact of Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) on children who present with internalizing and externalizing behavioral concerns through a single-case design. Two second-grade male children in northern Taiwan displaying clinical levels of internalizing or externalizing behavior problems underwent 9 weeks of weekly 40-minute CCPT sessions. The children's parents and teachers completed the Child Behavior Checklist and Teacher's Report Form before and after play therapy. Observational data were collected via the Direct Observation Form throughout the baseline, intervention, and follow-up phases. Observation data were evaluated through visual analysis. In-session play therapy notes and the children's play therapy behavior scores were also analyzed. The participants' internalizing and externalizing problem behaviors demonstrated slight decreases.

Young residents in care homes experience psychological distress arising from their complex family backgrounds. Residential care workers face job demands and are prone to burnout due to the role stress of balancing enormous workloads with residents’ emotional needs. This 2-year study examined the changes in role stress, burnout, and residents’ behavioral problems, and their temporal relationships in a sample of 381 young residents and 76 workers from residential care homes in Hong Kong. The workers completed the Role Questionnaire and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory and evaluated the residents’ behavioral problems using the Child Behavior Checklist every 3 months. Latent growth modeling was used to analyze the temporal changes, and multilevel regression analysis was used to evaluate the associations between role stress and residents’ behavioral problems. The workers displayed stable trends in role stress and burnout with significant inter-individual variations in temporal changes. The residents’ total behavioral problems displayed piecewise decreasing trajectories with significant declines over the first 9 months. Controlling for baseline levels, changes in role stress showed significant and positive associations with changes in work burnout and total behavioral problems over the first 9 months. The findings provide support for the temporal relationships among role stress, work burnout, and residents’ behavioral problems in a residential care setting.

“…The therapist engages the child in their play, encouraging difficult feelings be expressed and safety maintained by symbolic distance (Landreth, 2012). Tsai and Ray (2011) found CCPT counseling to be effective in one of the largest studies on community mental health counseling with children. Using Child Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), the authors noted a moderate to large effect size of child counseling to decrease symptoms of internalizing problems, externalizing problems and total problems.…”

The purpose of this mixed methods dissertation study is to answer the following simple question: What is child counseling? There is a dearth of literature on the clinical competencies involved in child counseling. Additionally, there is little training specific to children in professional counseling. An introduction to the need for child counseling competencies is accompanied by a review of literature that includes discussion of the child counseling subfield, the training structure for child counselors, related ethical and legal issues in counseling children, and child counseling competency systems and theories. A framework is introduced from which to base a child counseling competency system. A mixed methods classical Delphi study was employed to engage a panel of 37 child counseling experts about what constitutes the practice of child counseling and what makes it unique. Initial items for a comprehensive child counseling competency system were illuminated.This study resulted in 57 items that encompass child counseling competencies in the core domains of child counseling attitudes, knowledge, skills and actions. Additionally, participants ranked items for a final list of ten competencies in child counseling that including the following:(1) passion for children, (2) authenticity, (3) advocating for children, (4) evidence-based treatments, (5) knowledge of legal and ethical issues with counseling children, (6) using congruence, empathy and nonjudgment, (7) meeting children where they are, (8) multicultural competence with children, (9) speaking the language of the children, and (10) self-reflection.These competencies are arranged in narrative and figure form and discussions involve how they can inform future counselor training and licensure.
