“…Numerous scholars (Landreth, 1993;Landreth et al, 2009;Penn & Post, 2012) state that a child's behavior is a process to satisfy personal needs, and it is imperative that counselors understand the child's perception of reality and reactions to that reality. They further state that CCPT can accomplish this with nonjudgmental acceptance of all aspects of the child's life (i.e., socioeconomic status, ethnic background, etc.)…”

“…Simultaneously, there is a consistent call for increased emphasis on multicultural competence in counseling across the globe (Garrett & Herring, 2001;Lee, 2001;Penn & Post, 2012;Vontress, 1996). Multicultural counseling refers to preparation and practice that integrates multicultural and culturespecific awareness, knowledge, and skills into counseling interactions (Arredondo et al, 1996).…”

“…Research indicates that the provision of multiculturally competent supervision positively influences multicultural counseling knowledge (Penn & Post, 2012), cultural empathy (Suthakaran, 2011), multicultural counseling selfefficacy (Burkard et al, 2006;Constantine, 2001), supervisory working alliance and satisfaction with supervision (Inman, 2006), and learning outcomes (Green & Dekkers, 2010).…”

Multicultural competence in psychotherapy and supervision have been deemed as critical to ethical practice. This article offers two supervisory interventions, the Critical Events Model (Ladany, Friedlander, & Nelson, 2005) and the Heuristic Model of Nonoppressive Interpersonal Development (Ancis & Ladany, 2010) to highlight the use of a multiculturally competent framework in psychotherapy and supervision. By using a case vignette we elucidate the process that can ensue within both the therapeutic and supervisory setting.

“…As seen in the application of healing through play around the world, whether it is through psychotherapy, counselling, or community and group play therapy, there is a need for awareness in the area of cultural competency (Penn & Post, 2014). Therapists have to acquire knowledge of the ecosystems of the children, their families, communities and skills to work with them, in order to foster healthy development and well-being (Boyer, 2010).…”

It is important for all therapists to be culturally sensitive to children and their eco-systems as well as to be aware of the current trends and the changing application of play as a healing agent. The focus of this study is on the development of a current description of play by therapists from a global perspective through a thematic analysis of focus groups resulting in an explanation of how play contributes to healing and the practice of therapy. In this study, the naturalistic method of qualitative research (Bowers, 2009;Lincoln & Guba, 1985) was applied to the study of play around the world, resulting in a new description of "play". The analyses of focus group meetings in Morocco, Singapore, Hong Kong, Canada and Europe resulted in the emergence of 8 themes: productivity through play, contribution to development, facilitation of the relationship through play, honouring diversity, collaboration between children and caregivers, stimulation through technology-based play, relaxation provided by play, and the devaluation of play. These themes, which are presented through the "voices of the participants", together with the literature review, serve to enrich the changing description of play. With participants from all continents, a current global perspective highlights the changes that play, both as a concept and as a healing agent, has undergone and will continue to do so. New information emerged suggesting that technology has become a worldwide focus for children but has a paradoxical effect on their relationships.
