“…Relevant to the use of guns in the playroom, researchers have also explored the effectiveness of play therapy on children’s aggression and disruptive behaviors. Jarareh et al (2016) found CBT group play effective in reducing aggression within the classroom. Researchers explored play therapy with aggressive behaviors (Jarareh et al, 2016; Tyndall-Lind et al, 2001; Ojambo & Bratton, 2014) and noted statistically significant differences in children’s aggressive behavior and self-concept.…”

Mass shootings and gun violence are becoming more and more commonplace in the United States. Gun control continues to be a controversial topic in America. This controversy extends to the playroom and play therapy literature, as play therapists grapple with the decision to include or exclude toy guns from the playroom. Within this phenomenological study, play therapists considered and defined their decisions to include/exclude guns within the playroom. Themes identified included the influence of personal and theoretical beliefs on inclusion and exclusion, child development, toys as metaphors, and boundaries and limit setting around toy guns in the playroom. Implications, limitations, and directions for future research are explored.

“…Further, the participants expressed the therapeutic necessity of properly processing feelings of anger and aggression with students to avoid potentially negative outcomes. These concerns are comparable to research stating that avoiding or failing to address violence and aggression with students can result in negative outcomes such as feeling unequipped to process experiences accordingly (Niu, 2018), repressing anger leading to guilt and shame (Trotter & Landreth, 2003), inability to control aggression in social settings (Jarareh et al, 2016), and difficulty balancing conflict This document is copyrighted by the American Psychological Association or one of its allied publishers.…”

Play therapy has emerged as a culturally and developmentally appropriate intervention for addressing the mental health needs of children in a variety of settings, including schools. The inclusion of a diverse array of toys by play therapists can allow children to explore issues, process emotions, and develop solutions through their language of play. In particular, some students require safe and open spaces to address experiences with violence or trauma through aggressive play or toys, including weapons. For school-based play therapists, the inclusion of aggressive toys can be difficult due to controversy surrounding the impact of aggressive toys in play along with school-based policies maintaining zero-tolerance. The research team explored the experiences and perceptions of 15 school-based play therapists regarding the use of aggressive toys. Four overarching themes emerged from the data: Aggressive toys in practice, therapeutic factors of aggressive toys, conceptions of aggression and play therapy, and environmental considerations. We discuss the implications for school-based play therapy practice, training, and supervision along with recommendations for future research.

“…Oyun terapisinin gruplarda uygulanmasının etkililiğine ilişkin pek çok araştırma bulunmaktadır. Bunlar arasında belli bir kuramsal yaklaşımı ön plana çıkaran araştırmalar; Danışan/Çocuk Merkezli Oyun Terapisi (Baggerly ve Max-Parker, 2005;Baggerly, 2004;Candan, 2017;Cheng ve Ray, 2016), Yapılandırılmış Oyun Terapisi (Bleck ve Bleck, 1982), Adleyan Oyun Terapisi, (Meany-Walen, Bullis, Kottman ve Taylor, 2015), gelişimsel oyun terapisi (Gumaer, 1984), Bilişsel-Davranışçı Oyun Terapisi, (Ngamthipwatthana, Kiattisirichai, Hosiri ve Manussirivithaya, 2018) olmakla birlikte belirli konulara yönelik olarak planlanan örneğin; yaratıcılığın geliştirilmesi ve öfke kontrolü (Jarareh, Mohammadi, Nader ve Moosavian, 2016), çocuk cinsel istismarı, (Jones, 2002), çok kültürlülük konuları (Su ve Tsaı, 2016), sosyal kaygıyla başa çıkma (Teke, 2019), utangaçlıkla başa çıkma (Yıldız, 2015) müdahalelerin de bulunduğu belirlenmiştir.…”

Oyun terapisi yaklaşık yüz yıllık bir geçmişe sahiptir ve çocuklarla psikolojik danışma yapmanın bir yoludur. Oyun terapisinde çocuklar doğal dilleri olan oyunu kullanarak kendilerini ifade ederler. Ayrıca yaşadıkları problemleri oyun oynayarak canlandırır ve böylelikle tarif edemedikleri duygularını keşfederler. Oyun terapisine ilişkin pek çok farklı kuramsal yaklaşım bulunmaktadır. Bununla birlikte oyun terapisi uygulamaları temelde direktif olan, direktif olmayan ve aile oyun terapileri olarak üç başlık altında toplanabilir. Günümüzde bireysel ve aile ile uygulanan oyun terapilerinin yanı sıra grupla uygulanan oyun terapileri de yaygınlaşmaya başlamıştır. Yapılan alanyazın incelemesinde yurt dışında grupla oyun terapisine ilişkin pek çok araştırma bulunurken Türkiye'de sınırlı sayıda araştırma bulunduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı oyun terapisini ve oyun terapisinin gruplarda uygulanmasını ele almak ve tanıtmaktır. Buna yönelik olarak oyun terapisi, oyun terapisindeki kuramsal yaklaşımlar, oyun terapisinin gruplardaki uygulama biçimi incelenmiş ve oyun terapisinin gruplarda nasıl kullanıldığını gösteren üç uygulama kısaca tanıtılmıştır. Son olarak oyun terapisi ve gruplarda oyun terapisi kullanımına ilişkin öneriler paylaşılmıştır.
