“…An overwhelming majority of the published play therapy research is theoretically based in child-centered play therapy philosophy (e.g., Blanco & Ray, 2011;Bratton, 2010;Ray, 2007;Schottelkorb & Ray, 2009). However, researchers have found promising results using cognitive behavior play therapy with children as they adjust to school (Pearson, 2008), exhibit attention difficulties and hyperactive behaviors (Kaduson & Finnerty, 1995), and are diagnosed with encopresis (Knell & Moore, 1990). Green (2014) published a case study that described a successful intervention using Jungian mandalas with adolescents diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and Bromfield (1989) published a case study in which he used psychodynamic play therapy with a child diagnosed with autism.…”

Without intervention, children's externalizing behaviors tend to worsen over time and increase the risk that they will experience future problems. The authors used a single‐case research design with 6 Caucasian boys in kindergarten and 1st grade to measure the effectiveness of Adlerian play therapy on children's classroom behaviors. The results revealed an improvement in the children's behavior during and after the intervention, suggesting that Adlerian play therapy is a promising intervention for children's externalizing classroom behaviors.

“…For example, CBPT has been used to treat children presenting with diagnoses such as selective mutism (Knell, 1993a(Knell, , 1993b, encopresis (Knell & Moore, 1990, Knell, 1993a, and phobias (Knell, 1943a), as well as children who have experienced traumpltic life events, such as divorce (Knell, 1993a) and sexual abuse (Ruma, 1993;Knell & Ruma, 1996). However, published case studies show CBPT being used successfully with a wide range of populations.…”

Discusses cognitive-behavioral play therapy (CBPT), a developmentally sensitive treatment for young children that relies on flexibility, decreased expectation for verbalizations by the child, and increased reliance on experiential approaches. The development of CBPT for preschool-age children provides a relatively unique adaptation of cognitive therapy as it was originally developed for adults. CBPT typically contains a modeling component through which adaptive coping skills are demonstrated. Through the use of play, cognitive change is communicated indirectly, and more adaptive behaviors can be introduced to the child. Modeling is tailored for use with many specific cognitive and behavioral interventions. Generalization and response prevention are important features of CBPT. With minor modifications, many of the principles of cognitive therapy, as delineated for use with adults, are applicable to young children. Case examples are presented to highlight the application of CBPT. Although CBPT has a sound therapeutic base and utilizes proven techniques, more rigorous empirical scrutiny is needed.

“…There are various approaches to play therapy, chosen according to the context in which the intervention takes place, the theoretical view of therapists, as well as the needs of children. One of these approaches is cognitive-behavioral play therapy that integrates behavioral and cognitive interventions in the paradigm of play therapy [16]. Within this play therapy approach, inconsistent thoughts associated with behavioral problems in children are identified and then changed.…”

Objectives:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral play therapy on externalizing behavior problems among street and working children. Methods:This experimental study was conducted with a pre-and posttest control group design. The statistical population of this study included girls aged 7-10 years who had been identified by the social workers working in Kiana Sociocultural Group Center in the city of Karaj in order to study, participate in educational programs, and also receive the relevant services. To this end, 40 of the girls who scored 63 or above from the Teacher's Report Form (TRF) were randomly selected and assigned to intervention and control groups. Then, the intervention group was divided into 4 groups of 5 girls who participated in a cognitive-behavioral play therapy program for 12 one-hour sessions lasting 2 sessions per week. Following the intervention, teachers once again filled out the Achenbach's Teacher Report Form (TRF) for both intervention and control groups, and finally, the data were analyzed. Results:The findings revealed that reduction in externalizing behavior problems among children such as aggression and law-breaking behavior in the intervention group compared with those in the control group was significant (P<0.01).Discussion: It seems that one of the effective ways to lessen externalizing behavior problems among street and working children is cognitive-behavioral play therapy; therefore, coaches and teachers of such children are recommended to make use of this method to lower their behavioral problems.
