Joins a sister Heather. Grand
parents are Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Sanders, Ukiah, CA.
Great grandparents are Mr.

Adams, all of Spray.
And now, speaking weather
wise, there are a few robins, a
few budding things and, to
date, at least one tick out and
about, and that blood-thirsty
individual with the tenacity of
a vampire.
Long before the days of TV,
weather casters, the late John
Asher, one of the great old
timers and one I enjoy
remembering, termed similar
spring-like interludes in mid
winter, "weather-breeders."
He didn't often miss. Today
we leave the elemental predi
ctions to KOIN's Dr. John and
get caught with our snow
treads down. Changing world.

Ploy Therapy
By Terry D. Hlml, ACSW
Another mode of treatment frequently used at the Morrow
County Mental Health Clinic is play therapy. As one might
Imagine, play therapy is used in treating children and
sometimes families who have small children.
The youngest child that I've used play therapy with was a
seven month old baby and it is generally used with children to
about age fourteen, depending how verbal the child may be.
With adolescents, a combination of both play therapy and
traditional talk therapy may be used.
Play therapy is Just that: the therapist plays games with
the child patient. A child expresses his anxieties, fears,
hostilities and frustrations through his play, so that the
therapist can learn what is bothering a particular child. Also,
once the therapist finds out what is bothering the child, the
clinician can guide the play to assist the child in expressing
himself. If the child can express his feelings through his toys
and-or dolls, they become less threatening to him.
The therapist becomes the model parent for the child, and
the child transfers the feeling he has for his parents onto the
therapist. The therapist then has to assist the child in
expressing these feelings and must also give appropriate
comments to the child in order to assist him in feeling better
about himself.
Probably the best way to try to understand this is by my
giving an example of a case I had in another state.The child
was a nine-year-old boy whose parents were divorced who
was living with his mother and two younger sisters. In the
first session I explained the two rules of play therapy
session: (1) you can do anything you want, but you cannot
destroy any property, including the toys, and (2) you cannot
do physical harm to yourself or the therapist.
With that the boy, Randy (not his real name), immediately
went for the suction-cup dart game and proceeded to shot it
at me. He was told if he did that again he would not be
allowed to play with the guns. Randy shot another one at me,
hence, I immediately took the gun away from him. Randy
then picked up the metal darts which he pretended to throw
at me. I again set the limit, he could not even pretend to
throw these darts at me. Randy abided by the limit and used
the dart board. The rest of the hour was spent with Randy
throwing the darts. The next session I obtained a punching
bag which Randy would punch until he was literally
exhausted and fell panting to the floor, where he'd rest a
minute and go at it again. The next three sessions Randy
spent only half the hour punching the bag, during the second
half he wanted to play something together.
Up until this time Randy's hostility prevented him from
having a two-way relationship. At this point, I also started
allowing him to hit my hands, during which he would
occasionally lose control and start hitting me all over, at
which time I would physically restrain him.
Part of the anxiety and fear that children have in
expressing their hostility is that they will literally destroy the
person at whom the hositlity is directed: hence they bottle
their feelings up inside. The therapist has to not only
verbalize to the child that the child cannot destroy him, but
must also illustrate it in his actions. Frequently a child will
use his doll to express his feelings through, and if confronted
about these feelings being their own, they'll respond, "Oh,
me, that's the doll saying that!" Or if the feelings they are
expressing become too scary for them, they might say
"remember we're Just pretending!" This is a way they can
reassure themselves it isn't really happening, hence there's
nothing to fear.
In each session with Randy his hostility decreased, and he
started spending more and more of the hour interacting with
me. As he gained better control of his feelings he started
feeling better about himself, which also made it easier for
him to control his feelings. In my final session with Randy he
came up to me and placed his hands on each side of my
cheeks and gently squeezed. He then asked, "Are you sad?" I
reassured Randy that I was, that our relationship meant
something to me too. With that he went smiling and skipping
out of the room.
Some of the problems that had been resolved for Randy,
and which are also very common with other children, were:
( 1 ) learning that he didn't cause the divorce of his parents;
(2) the expression of the anger he felt and toward his
father, since Randy felt rejected;
( 3 ) learning that his anger would not destroy the therapist ;
(4) learning appropriate ways to express anger and the
fact it is necessary to express anger rather than bottle it up;
(5) learning that his mother would not leave him like his
father had;
(6) learning that his mother would not destroy him, as he
felt she had done to his father.
Randy had gone from feeling the world was dangerously
overwhelming and that he was worthless, so that he had
totally withdrawn, to feeling very good about himself and
viewing the world as a friendly, secure environment with
which he wanted to interact.
In the next week's article we'll discuss more aspects of
children and play therapy.
