About This Item
Description
the Talking, Feeling & Doing Board Game from Childswork/Childsplay is an innovative psychotherapeutic game for children. A child's responses while playing the game will reveal the psychological issues that are most important to him or her. Three types of cards offer prompts that will engage the child and, through their responses, reveal directions for therapeutic intervention. As the game is played, depending upon the color of the square on which the piece lands, the player selects a talking card, feeling card, or doing card. The questions and directions in each set of cards include a range of prompts from items that are not anxiety provoking—like "How old are you?"—to items that are moderately anxiety provoking—like "Everyone in the class was laughing at a boy. What had happened?" If the child responds they receive a token reward chip, and the player who has accumulated the most chips after the players have reached Finish wins the game. The child's responses are generally revealing of psychological issues that are most important at that time, and these responses can provide diagnostically meaningful insights into a child's mental and emotional state. This is the first published therapeutic game by Richard A. Gardener, M.D., and is still one of the most popular counseling tools used with children in therapeutic settings.Features
