Abstract Details

2004, Specialist in Education, Miami University, Educational Psychology.
The purpose of this paper is to examine practitioners’ perceptions of the utility of play therapy, and based upon those perceptions, whether or not the practitioner utilizes the form of intervention. The study investigated four dimensions regarding the use of play therapy: individual perception of the techniques, training in the methods, self-efficacy to perform techniques, and individual value of play. Results were analyzed via one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The dimensions on perception, training, and self-efficacy were supported through the research as a predictor of the utilization of play therapy methods. The value dimension, however, was not supported. This paper also presents limitations of the study and recommendations for future research.
