Description of Trainings
Day 1: Partners in Play: An Introduction to Adlerian Play Therapy. In this entertaining
workshop, Terry Kottman, the "inventor" of Adlerian play therapy, will introduce you to
Adlerian play therapy, a method of integrating the concepts and techniques of Individual
Psychology with the practice of play therapy. You will learn how to apply several of the
unique ways that Adlerians conceptualize children and the significant adults in their lives:
goals of misbehavior, the Crucial Cs, and personality priorities and how to use those
concepts in planning your interventions with child clients, their parents, and their teachers.

Day 2: Applications of Adlerian Play Therapy Across the Lifespan. In this interactive,
experiential workshop, you will learn intervention techniques for establishing relationships with
clients, exploring clients' life-styles, helping clients gain insight into their lifestyles, and
reorienting and reeducating clients. We will explore play therapy strategies, art techniques,
metaphors, and storytelling strategies for working with a wide range of clients–children,
adolescents, and adults. You will leave this workshop with a plethora of new activities for
your play therapy tool kit that you can use in your practice on Monday.
