Nurturing & Caregiving Theme In Play Therapy

Jul 5, 2023

In this episode I cover another in the Family & Nurturing category of play therapy themes… The Nurturing Theme. This is generally one of the later themes to emerge in a child’s play over a complete treatment cycle, and it is very significant to notice when it does. Nurturing Theme is sometimes referred to as the Caregiving Theme.
