Accepted Answer

The most frequent order of CCPT stages that children go through is warm-up stage, aggressive stage, regressive stage, and mastery stage. In the warm-up stage, children explore the therapy environment and build a rapport with the therapist. The aggressive stage involves acting out behaviors and expressing anger and frustration. The regressive stage involves revisiting past traumas and experiencing intense emotions. Finally, in the mastery stage, children begin to integrate what they've learned in therapy into their daily lives.

Question 3

When children do not go through the stages in the usual order, it usually is an indication of very serious problems.

Accepted Answer

While it is true that not all children follow the exact same order in their development, it is not necessarily an indication of serious problems. Some children simply develop at a different pace, and may still reach the same milestones as their peers but in a different order. However, if a child's development is significantly delayed or if they are skipping multiple stages, it may be worth seeking evaluation from a healthcare professional to ensure there are no underlying issues.

Accepted Answer

The therapists' ability to track the child through stages of the CCPT process aids in identifying and responding empathically to themes, as well as assists in tracking the therapeutic process progress. Therefore, both options A and B are correct.

Question 6

Which of the following is not one of the five things that every that every parent should understand before leaving an initial meeting with you, as a counselor intending to provide CCPT for her child includes:

A) that you understand her and her child's situation
B) that you see the underlying positive of who she is as a parent
C) that you can guarantee success
D) that follow-up communication will be a part of your work.

Accepted Answer

Guaranteeing success is not a realistic or ethical promise in counseling. While counselors can provide support and guidance, ultimately the success of therapy depends on the client's willingness to engage and make changes. The other options (A, B, and D) are all important factors for building a trusting and effective counseling relationship.

Question 7

Connecting empathically is very important to an initial meeting with a parent, whether initiating work in a school or an agency setting

Accepted Answer

Connecting empathically with a parent during an initial meeting sets the foundation for a positive and productive relationship. It helps establish trust and understanding, which can increase the likelihood of successful outcomes for the child or client.

Question 8

The five things that every teacher should know when consulting with you about a referral to your play therapy services is very similar to the same five things that every parent should know in initiating CCPT.

Accepted Answer

This statement is true. The five things that every teacher should know when consulting with a therapist about a referral to play therapy services are similar to the five things that every parent should know when initiating Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT). Both involve understanding the principles and benefits of play therapy, the role of the therapist, the importance of parent/teacher involvement, and the confidentiality and consent process.

Question 9

Which of the following are common problems in helping parents, teachers, and principals support the child's work in play therapy?&#10;A) Forgetting to build a relationship with critical, referring adults&#10;B) Trying to be all things to all people or trying to do too much to please the adults&#10;C) Difficulty taking the parent's or teacher's perspective or thinking you understand when you don't&#10;D) Identifying too much with the child's plight and succumbing to the temptation to see the parent/teacher as the problem vs. a potential part of the solution&#10;E) All the above.

Accepted Answer

All of the above are common problems in helping parents, teachers, and principals support the child's work in play therapy. Forgetting to build a relationship with critical, referring adults can lead to a lack of trust and communication, while trying to do too much to please everyone can lead to burnout and ineffective therapy. Difficulty taking the perspective of the parent or teacher can lead to misunderstandings, and identifying too much with the child's plight can create a strained relationship with the parent/teacher. All of these issues must be addressed in order to effectively support the child's work in play therapy.
