To the Editor.— I am concerned about the article by Bennett et al,1 on a training program in developmental pediatrics. Although I am in agreement with all of the contents of the training program, I am concerned about the narrow definition of developmental pediatrics as only the identification and care of children with developmental disabilities. They state that a major goal was ". . . to differentiate developmental and behavioral pediatrics despite their obvious overlaps and shared expertise" and that the primary focus of behavioral pediatrics is on the behavioral or psycho-social aspects of pediatric practice.

More beginning graduate students and new mental health professionals are seeing children and families in their therapeutic work, creating a growing need for play therapy-specific training and supervision. Training students and professionals in the art of play therapy is critical to the wellbeing of children, families, and the future profession. A university-based approved center of play therapy education aims to fulfill this growing need while undertaking a momentous amount of responsibility. Training skilled play therapists is a complex endeavor requiring a combination of foundational knowledge, advanced clinical and conceptual skills, and supervision that surpasses classroom coursework requirements. The authors describe the evolution of Georgia State University's Center of Play Therapy Education and Play Therapy Training Institute to provide readers with a comprehensive model for play therapy training and supervision.

Play therapy training clinics are vital to the success of the field of play therapy, as they serve as the foundation for play therapists' education and clinical training. Furthermore, play therapy training differs depending on the developmental level of the play therapist. In this chapter, the authors present a clinical educational program for graduate level students designed to prepare play therapists through practicum experiences based in a play therapy training clinic. The authors address the structure of beginning and advanced play therapy trainings as well as practicum and internship courses, and provide detailed information regarding supervisors, potential course assignments, scheduling, play therapy skills, play therapy rooms, and supervision.

Developing, growing, and maintaining a sustainable play therapy training clinic involves creating meaningful contact within the clinic's targeted community. How the play therapist developing the training clinic goes about creating contact within a community reflects that clinic's overall identity or brand. Counselors are often not trained regarding business practices, brand development, or marketing in their graduate programs. This chapter focuses on providing play therapists with information regarding branding a business and tools for promoting that brand in a manner that aids in the development, growth, and maintenance of a play therapy training clinic. Ethical considerations, as well as thought-provoking questions specific for the development and promotion of a play therapy training clinic are included.
