The underlying philosophy of Play Therapy is that clinicians work with children at their developmental level of communication and comfort—the level of play. Children naturally turn to play when they are sad, worried, angry, or confused. They “play-out” their feelings similar to the way an adult will “talk” out their feelings. As children begin to reveal their problems through play, the Play Therap

ist is then able to address the problems by offering solutions and by teaching children new ways of coping thus increasing skill development.
