The Center for Play Therapy is the result of twenty five years of planned development of a play therapy program in the Department of Counseling and Higher Education at the University of North Texas. Interest in play therapy training by graduate students and practicing professionals in the fields of counseling, psychology, social work, and early childhood education resulted in the addition of specialized courses of instruction to North Texas' play therapy curriculum. This training also increased the need for additional play therapy rooms for practice and supervision of play therapists in training. Concomitant with these developments, in 1973 the counseling department began to sponsor an annual Play Therapy Conference on the University of North Texas campus. These conferences attracted nationally recognized authorities in the field of play therapy and participants from a wide geographical region.

Our hearts are heavy with the news of the passing of Dr. Louise Guerney, a pioneering force in play therapy and the co-developer of Filial Therapy.

Through her groundbreaking work, Louise illuminated the healing nature of the parent-child relationship through play. Her contributions helped shape the field of play therapy, and continue to impact therapists, families, and communities around the world.

We are deeply grateful for her dedication, compassion, and lasting impact on our field. Dr. Louise Guerney’s work lives on in every parent and therapist who enters a child’s world through play, and in every child who is met with greater understanding, connection, and acceptance.
