Play therapy is a therapeutic approach based on non-directional client-centered approach of Carl Rogers and Virginia Axline, as well as on theories about the development of children, such as attachment and Gestalt.
It uses the game itself as a means, the natural expression and communication means of the child. By this means, the child or the adolescent can recognize feelings, process them, explore those matters from the past or the present which consciously or unconsciously affect his life and daily activities, find solutions to his problems, and find relief.
