Accepted Answer

The phrase "you may pinch me, but you may not hurt me" sets a conditional limit, allowing for one type of action (pinching) while specifying that another type of action (hurting) is not allowed.

Question 3

Which of the following is the most appropriate response to a child who wants to leave the playroom early?

Accepted Answer

This response acknowledges the child's desire to leave the playroom, informs them of how much time is left, and sets a clear endpoint for when they will be able to leave. Additionally, the use of "we" implies that the caregiver is also present and engaged in the situation, which can help the child feel supported and understood.

Question 4

Therapeutic limits do not need to be set for which of the following behaviors

Accepted Answer

Therapeutic limits are set to ensure safety and appropriate behavior within a therapeutic setting. Extremely messy behavior, while potentially disruptive, does not inherently pose a risk to safety or violate boundaries in the same way that harmful behavior, inappropriate displays of affection, or taking property would. Therefore, it may not require the same strict therapeutic limits as the other behaviors listed.

Question 5

Which of the following represent the three steps in the therapeutic limit-setting process?

Accepted Answer

The three steps in the therapeutic limit-setting process are: 1) Acknowledge the child's feelings, to show understanding and empathy; 2) Communicate the limit, to clearly define what is not acceptable; and 3) Target acceptable alternatives, to guide the child towards appropriate behavior.

Question 6

Children should not take toys from the playroom because play therapy is based on an emotional relationship.

Accepted Answer

Play therapy allows children to express their emotions and feelings through play. Toys in the playroom are carefully selected and used for therapeutic purposes, and taking them away can disrupt the emotional relationship between the child and the therapist.

Question 7

It is appropriate for a child to remove shoes and socks to play in the sandbox in the playroom.

Accepted Answer

It is appropriate to remove shoes and socks before playing in the sandbox to keep the sand clean and prevent it from spilling outside the playroom.

Question 8

Most play therapy sessions are 45 minutes long leaving 15 minutes between sessions to get the room ready on time for the next child.

Accepted Answer

Most play therapy sessions are 45 minutes long and therapeutists usually leave 15 minutes between sessions to prepare the room for the next child.

Question 9

Permissiveness in the playroom means that "anything goes."

Accepted Answer

Permissiveness in the playroom refers to allowing the child to lead the play and express themselves freely within safe and appropriate boundaries, rather than having no rules or limits at all.

Question 10

The play therapist tells the child what the limits in the playroom are during the first play session.

Accepted Answer

The play therapist does not usually tell the child what the limits in the playroom are during the first play session. Instead, the therapist typically observes the child's behavior to assess strengths, areas of concern, and interests, and then gradually introduces appropriate boundaries as needed. This allows the child to have a sense of control and autonomy while also providing a safe and structured environment for therapeutic play.

Question 11

The therapist's objective for setting therapeutic limits is to attempt to stop the child's inappropriate behaviors.

Accepted Answer

The therapist's objective for setting therapeutic limits is not to stop the child's inappropriate behaviors, but rather to provide structure, consistency, and safety within the therapeutic relationship. Setting limits helps the child learn appropriate behavior and develop self-control.
