This lunch-and-learn style training introduces mental health professionals to the foundational principles and clinical application of Adlerian Play Therapy (AdPT). Participants will explore the core concepts of Adlerian theory as they relate to children’s emotional, behavioral, and relational experiences, including belonging, significance, encouragement, and purposeful behavior. The training will provide an overview of the four phases of Adlerian Play Therapy and demonstrate how therapists use play, relationship-building, and lifestyle assessment to understand children’s behaviors and facilitate therapeutic change. Through didactic instruction and case-based discussion, participants will gain exposure to practical Adlerian play therapy concepts and interventions that can be integrated into clinical practice with children and families.

Identify at least three foundational concepts of Adlerian Play Therapy and describe how they influence play therapy treatment with children.
Describe the four phases of Adlerian Play Therapy and the role of the therapist within each phase of treatment.
