I just spent 3 days at a Play Therapy training here in Manhattan (KS). It was put on by Denise Filley of the KC Play Therapy Institute. Although a lot of seems very psychoanalytical (which is NOT my theoretical basis), I think it is a very good area to study if you work with kids at all. Unfortunately, becoming a registered play therapist is only an option if you have a licence and a graduate degree in a mental health profession right now. Denise discussed the possibility of some day adding some sort of credential for Educators, but that may be way off (I would be happy to colaborate on that project!). Anyone is welcome to go to the trainings and even to complete the certificate program. However, the most you can ever do with that is to say that you have done it, but did not receive the certificate.
Look into it!
