On Hierarchical Inter-relationships amongst the Challenges Faced while Implementation of Play Therapy amongst School Children in India

Abstract

Play Therapy [PT] has its roots in psychoanalysis and child psychology. The earliest forms of PT can be traced back to the work of Sigmund Freud and his followers, who used play and creative activities as a means of exploring a child's unconscious thoughts and feelings. Play therapy can be used to address a wide range of issues, including behavioral problems, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. The present research tries to explore the challenges faced while implementing play therapy among school children in India.
