Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy, known internationally as Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy (CBPT), proposes a conceptual framework that integrates the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy with the therapeutic power of play, making them sensitive and appropriate to the child’s developmental level.
By designing specific play therapy interventions for preschool and school children, CBT therapy also becomes accessible for the 3-8 age group, facilitating the child’s direct involvement in therapy and stimulating his or her active role in the change process.
