Okay so for Tracy I was able to find four
- 00:05 - 00:09
different play therapy techniques that I would like to use.
- 00:10 - 00:10
I found them online.
- 00:11 - 00:13
So the first one is magic wand play.
- 00:14 - 00:17
So for this activity the client will be given a
- 00:17 - 00:19
magic wand and asked to make three wishes that apply
- 00:20 - 00:20
to them.
- 00:20 - 00:22
So the goal of activity is to have at least
- 00:23 - 00:23
one wash.
- 00:23 - 00:24
That will be a real life situation.
- 00:25 - 00:28
That can be further discussed with the client on the
- 00:28 - 00:30
website you were saying that is very common that the
- 00:30 - 00:32
child is wishing for things that apply to them.
- 00:33 - 00:35
Um So I think that this can technique will help
- 00:36 - 00:40
the client verbalize er goals in their wishes and then
- 00:40 - 00:41
be able to visualize them.
- 00:42 - 00:45
Which can lead to help from therapist and reaching these
- 00:45 - 00:48
goals and even kind of helping them like realize which
- 00:48 - 00:50
ones are realistic and which ones are not going to
- 00:50 - 00:57
happen. Yeah so the next activity is the emotion thermometer.
- 00:57 - 01:01
So this technique will be used during every session and
- 01:01 - 01:02
it will be a way to check in with how
- 01:02 - 01:03
the client is feeling.
- 01:04 - 01:06
And let's say if the client were to pick the
- 01:06 - 01:08
sad the sad emotion for the day like they need
- 01:09 - 01:10
to explain why it's causing that feeling.
- 01:10 - 01:14
Just saying oh I'm sad like wouldn't be able to
- 01:14 - 01:15
like really like tell anything.
- 01:16 - 01:19
Um So I think that this will allow for the
- 01:19 - 01:25
child to practice expressing their emotions and this is beneficial
- 01:26 - 01:28
for Tracy's and she seems to have a hard time
- 01:29 - 01:29
for this.
- 01:30 - 01:33
And then the third activity is black play.
- 01:34 - 01:36
So for this technique the child therapist can build a
- 01:36 - 01:38
block of walls and then the child will be able
- 01:39 - 01:42
to throw a ball knock down on the blocks as
- 01:43 - 01:43
a way to respond.
- 01:44 - 01:45
Release any frustration or anger.
- 01:46 - 01:49
And then I think that this technique can help Tracy
- 01:49 - 01:51
because they're gonna be way for her to recognize her
- 01:51 - 01:53
anger and then be able to express it in a
- 01:53 - 01:57
controlled environment instead of throwing things, slamming doors and yelling
- 01:58 - 01:59
like she has done.
- 02:00 - 02:05
Mhm And then the last one is um bibliotheca api
- 02:06 - 02:09
so it's kind of like a biography in a sense.
- 02:10 - 02:13
So for this technique the therapist will look for a
- 02:13 - 02:16
story book um that is similar to the clients presenting
- 02:17 - 02:19
issue and the end of the story will have a
- 02:19 - 02:22
solution. So that can really help the client like realize
- 02:22 - 02:24
that like things like can get better.
- 02:24 - 02:27
And then when they are reading a story the therapist
- 02:28 - 02:31
can ask questions like do you relate to the story
- 02:31 - 02:32
or have you felt this way?
- 02:33 - 02:35
And this can kind of be away for Tracy to
- 02:36 - 02:39
recognize that other people feel this way and that it's
- 02:39 - 02:41
like okay for her to want to talk about it.
- 02:42 - 02:47
Sure. Okay so this next slide which is here and
- 02:47 - 02:52
this is actually the example of the emotion thermometer that
- 02:52 - 02:53
would want to use it.
- 02:53 - 02:55
Just kind of help give a picture of it.
- 02:56 - 02:58
Um So I think it's pretty straightforward but again like
- 02:58 - 03:02
this would be used like this technique will be used
- 03:02 - 03:03
every session because I think it would be a really
- 03:04 - 03:07
good way to kind of see you like how the
- 03:07 - 03:10
client is and also like to see the improvement of
- 03:11 - 03:12
them being able to express their emotions.
- 03:14 - 03:17
Okay, so for the evaluation of the techniques, I would
- 03:17 - 03:23
want to essentially keep a behavior log for before after
- 03:23 - 03:27
and during the um the treatment.
- 03:28 - 03:30
And I think this would be a good way to
- 03:30 - 03:34
determine like if it actually um had to change and
- 03:35 - 03:37
like I was like talking about a few seconds ago,
- 03:38 - 03:38
the emotional thermometer.
- 03:39 - 03:45
I think that one maybe the most important because um
- 03:46 - 03:48
it's it's a simple way just to see like how
- 03:49 - 03:51
um the client is doing, but then I can, even
- 03:52 - 03:53
for her it could just be seen.
- 03:53 - 03:55
But so I got to like pick my feelings, I'm
- 03:55 - 03:56
like it won't be like that big a deal.
- 03:58 - 04:03
Mhm. Um So for this client case um ethical consideration.
- 04:04 - 04:10
Mhm. Um That could occur is um the right to
- 04:10 - 04:14
privacy. Um While the mom has stated the biological mom
- 04:15 - 04:19
has stated that she wants to be able to um
- 04:20 - 04:24
like regain the care custody of her Children.
- 04:25 - 04:29
Um It's not stating the case like kind of like
- 04:29 - 04:32
what information I guess is allowed to get back to
- 04:32 - 04:37
it. Um So I guess like a possible um dilemma
- 04:38 - 04:40
could be like the mom like wanting to know like
- 04:41 - 04:44
how the sessions are and again like since that information
- 04:45 - 04:47
like what it stayed in the case study like I
- 04:48 - 04:50
wouldn't really as a therapist like I wouldn't know what
- 04:51 - 04:52
kind of information I was able to disclose.
- 04:54 - 04:58
So I guess then in terms of looking for support,
- 05:00 - 05:02
the best way to do that would be to um
- 05:03 - 05:10
look to supervision and then also look at our code
- 05:11 - 05:15
of ethics um to see like what is said about
- 05:15 - 05:20
that and then even um being able and then like
- 05:20 - 05:23
if things are able to be said to them like
- 05:23 - 05:26
making sure that there's like an appropriate time to do
- 05:26 - 05:33
so and that the patient client confidence comes count like
- 05:33 - 05:38
that. The patient client confidentiality is still being kept at
- 05:38 - 05:39
the end of the day.
- 05:39 - 05:42
Your client is Tracy not the mom.
