Play Therapy

"Play Therapy is based upon the fact that play is  the child’s natural medium of self expression. It is an opportunity which is given to the child to ‘play out’ his feelings and problems just as in certain types of adult therapy an individual ‘talks out’ his  difficulties.”
Virginia Axline
