Play therapy for kids ? learn more about itFrom the point of view of an ordinary individual a family is a group of people combined by means of related ties (blood and non-blood relationship), who get along together with each other. With time stereotypes of relationship appear in any family - rules, traditions which provide relations within a family. But as a rule, family members don't feel that they are a part of a family structure, but the whole that interacts with other independent individuals.
Nevertheless, being in boundaries of a family and feeling his individuality a person perceives family rules: "here you are not allowed to do like that", "you should be careful in such situations" etc. Thus, behaviour of every individual is determined by a complicated structure of unconscious rules accepted in the family. Having broken the family boundaries, even adult person can feel strong affective emotions: shame, guilt, anxiety, fear.
Play therapy for kids aims to create good relations within a family so pay much attention to it. To introduce play therapy for kids a psychologist has to take into account peculiarities of a family and a family structure. Also a psychologist has to know which traumas a family suffered from. Also here a problem emerges with the kids suffering from autism.
Nowadays, more and more researches show that autism is not only a psychic disease but mostly a metabolism disorder. Some researches show that autists are unable to digest two proteins that milk and wheat contain (casein and gluten respectively). Normal people digest and assimilate these proteins well while autists do not - these proteins turn into opiates and are absorbed into blood. That's why many of them have a pathological predilection to dairy and floury produce. They are just addicted to these produce as to drugs.
If your kid is an autist, then play therapy for autism can relieve. Play therapy for autism should be combined with a diet containing no casein and gluten. Besides, it is now well known that a certain peptide representing yeast remains has an effect that can be compared with a strong psychotropic. After the diet and play therapy for autism their behaviour and their contact with the world improve gradually. There is play therapy for kids called "applied behavior analysis" or ABA.
According to this approach, all difficult skills including speech, creative play, an ability to look at the eyes etc. are divided into small blocks; an autist is tutored to these blocks separately with addition of new blocks later on. Such play therapy for kids turned out to be very effective. Other play therapy for kids is called "floor time". During this play a psychotherapist uses the interests of a kid to establish the contact. In some cases these two methods led to complete recovery of kids suffering from autism.
On this site you will find more detailed information on how to apply these methods to certain patients to treat autism very well. Also you will find here a list of literature that we recommend for reading if this problem concerns you.
