The authors of this chapter identify ways to optimize supervision for play therapists working with clients facing substance abuse issues. Using case studies, two expressive arts activities used in play therapy supervision are showcased along with two well-known supervision models: Bernard's (1979) Discrimination Model and the Integrated Developmental Model (Stoltenberg & McNeill, 2010). The authors highlight practical applications, as well as potential challenges, when using expressive arts in play therapy supervision for substance abuse-related issues.

Similarities And Differences

Counseling and play therapy supervision have similarities and differences, but both have a goal of helping supervisees develop into ethical and effective counselors. Counselors adhere to a supervision model as a guide in this process. Play therapy is a specialty area with a specific scope of practice and thus requires additional counseling knowledge. Play therapists are trained in the use of expressive arts, bibliotherapy, and other creative techniques for use in therapy. These same techniques can be beneficial in supervision. Using creative approaches in counseling supervision is catalytic for inspiring supervisees to include creative methods in their own work with clients. Books have frequently been used with clients to reach their mental health goals and incorporated into counseling supervision. This chapter will discuss the use of books in therapy, supervision, and provide case studies on its implementation.

Adult Counseling

When counselors and therapists think of using the sandtray as a counseling intervention, they often think sandtray work only as a play-therapy intervention for children (Hunter, 1998). However, over the last several decades, sandtrays have been included in counseling adolescents and adults more and more frequently (Homeyer & Sweeney, 2011). When sandtrays are used from a Jungian perspective, this work is often referred to as “sandplay” but today, sandtray work with adults from a variety of theoretical perspectives is growing in popularity (Boik & Godwin, 2000; DeDomenico, 1995). This article discusses the use of the sandtray as an expressive intervention with adult therapy clients acknowledging there are many theoretical options available to the therapist and outlines how sandtray work (ST) is uniquely suited for a variety of adult counseling populations from diverse cultures and ethnic backgrounds.

Decomposition Principle

Qualitative model is a theoretical background of commonsense. Complex qualitative models can have prohibitively many solutions (qualitative states). Therefore a qualitative analogy of such classical quantitative tools as e.g. the decomposition is developed. Practical applications of decomposition principle is nearly always ad hoc. Therefore two case studies are presented in details, a chemical process (mixer, chemical reactor, separator) and an anaerobic fermentor.

AbstractOne of the main problems of practical applications of degressively proportional allocations of goods and burdens is lack of uniqueness of this principle. Even under given boundary conditions of allocation, i.e. determined minimal and maximal amounts of a good that can be assigned in a given allocation, there are usually many feasible solutions. The lack of formal rules of allocation is the reason why the allocation is typically a result of negotiations among its agents. A number of allocations favor some of agents or their groups, therefore other agents cannot accept them. The aim of this paper is to indicate a way of reducing the set of all feasible solutions exclusively to those that are neutral to all agents. As a result of the term of lexicographic preference of allocation agents defined on the basis of the relation theory followed by a numerical analysis of sets of all feasible solutions, it is possible to determine a core of this set in the form of a subset of all feasible solutions that are acceptable by all agents. In addition, this subset can be further divided into smaller subsets with regard to the degree of acceptance of their elements. Theoretical analysis is complemented by case studies, one of which is application of this idea to the allocation of seats in the European Parliament among the member states of the European Union.

Abstract This case study identifies and examines interactional practices of non-directive play therapists during their therapeutic sessions with autistic adolescents. The study involved two therapists and two adolescents (siblings) on the autism spectrum. The video-recorded sessions took place at participants’ home and were conducted in Polish. Employing insights and tools from discourse-analytic approaches, in particular conversation analysis (CA), the findings show how clients and therapists are both involved in co-constructing therapeutic interactions by orienting to each other’s utterances. CA is presented in this article as a useful tool for recognizing and describing the therapists’ interactional contributions and their local functions. The therapeutic practices identified in the analysis (talk-in-practice) – e.g. mirroring, meaning expansion, recast and scaffolding – are further juxtaposed with theories concerning interactional practices in non-directive therapies (talk-in-theory) in order to provide a more detailed picture of these practices as well as complete them. The findings from this study expand the current state of knowledge of non-directive play therapies of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and carry practical implications for specialists involved in ASD treatment.

This chapter examines how university training programs and clinics can help play therapists develop social justice advocacy competency. Developing social justice advocacy can help play therapists understand social inequalities and oppressive systems, experience empathy with clients, and integrate advocacy action into their work. Training programs can help facilitate social justice advocacy for students through curriculum focus, service learning, and continuing education opportunities that promote awareness and empathy. Play therapy services offered in university clinics also offer opportunities for interns to increase understanding of social justice advocacy through client interactions and clinical supervision. Clinic directors promote social justice advocacy through managing just organization procedures and coordinating advocacy and outreach initiatives.

Adlerian Theory

Many play therapists routinely use Adlerian theory as their primary mode of conducting therapy with children (Lambert et al., 2007). In an age of evidenced-informed practices, research that supports or describes a treatment's effectiveness is important (Chambless & Ollendick, 2001). Because of Adlerian play therapy's popularity and the emphasis for evidence of treatment effectiveness, researchers began investigating Adlerian play therapy. A brief description of Adlerian play therapy and a description of research is provided.

Art Techniques

In this chapter, the authors describe creative supervision using play therapy and expressive arts modalities that offer a need driven alternative to the traditional supervisor-driven stage models of supervision. Play therapy and expressive arts supervision strategies are effective at increasing supervisee's awareness of self and others, supporting “out-of-the-box” thinking, opening supervisees' to their own strengths and intuition, and enhancing the supervisory relationship. In an attempt to illustrate the rationale and benefits of using play therapy strategies and expressive arts techniques in supervision, descriptions of various techniques are presented with examples, followed by a discussion on ethical and cultural considerations.
