Perilaku menolak sekolah, adalah perilaku yang umum dialami anak-anak dalam masa sekolah, dengan berbagai alasan. Perilaku ini tidak selalu menjadi diagnosa patologis, tapi pada praktisnya kerap menyebabkan stres dalam keluarga. Saat anak memiliki keinginan untuk tidak hadir di sekolah, mereka cenderung berperilaku maladaptif. Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) dipandang sebagai bentuk intervensi terapetik yang tidak berfokus pada permasalahan anak secara langsung, tetapi memberikan ruang dan kesempatan pada anak untuk memproses masalahnya. CCPT terbukti dapat mengatasi berbagai masalah perilaku dalam perkembangan anak hingga remaja. Namun, belum banyak ulasan mengenai bagaimana CCPT memfasilitasi perubahan perilaku tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan memberikan informasi baru mengenai efektivitas CCPT dalam mengubah perilaku anak terhadap sekolah. Subjek penelitian ini adalah anak perempuan berusia 6 tahun. Penelitian qualitative, single case study ini memberikan penjelasan proses perubahan/ transformasi perilaku partisipan secara intensif dan deskriptif dalam 18 sesi terapi individual. Play Therapy Dimensional Model (PTDM) dalam level consiousness-unconsiousness dan directive-nondirectiveness akan mendeskripsikan arah pergerakan dan perubahan perilaku partisipan dalam proses terapi. Hasil penelitian berbentuk laporan observasi peneliti, dokumentasi sesi, dan laporan orangtua menunjukkan keselarasan terhadap perubahan perilaku partisipan. Perubahan perilaku sesuai dengan tujuan CCPT dan sesuai dengan harapan orangtua. Partisipan hadir di sekolah, berani menampilkan dirinya di depan kelas, dan perilaku somatis sirna.

This study aims to provide new information about the effectiveness of CCPT in changing children's behavior towards school. The sole subject of this study was a 6-year-old girl. This qualitative, single case study provides an explanation of the process of change / transformation of participant's intensive and descriptive behavior in 18 individual therapy sessions.

The result of the study was in the form of researchers' observation reports, session documentation, and parental reports show conformity with changes in participant behavior.
