"One major focus
of research has been play therapy and assessment with young
children. We have developed a reliable coding system for identifying
both themes and interpersonal relationships expressed in the play of
children in play therapy. Several studies have been conducted
examining gender and ethnic differences in play themes. Other
studies have looked at different patterns of preferred play themes
in children who have experienced different interpersonal stresses
and traumas in the early years of life. For example, children who
have witnessed family violence play subtly different themes than do
children who have been physically abused and both groups show major
differences in play themes from children who have suffered
attachment problems. More recently, we have been looking at such
interpersonal stresses and traumas as sexual abuse, parental
depression, parental substance abuse, parental personality
disorders, abandonment, neglect, and emotional abuse in terms of the
primary impact on the child. We are just beginning to develop a
standardized play assessment instrument using play themes and
students working in the lab will be conducting play assessments for
both normative and clinical samples. Work is also ongoing studying
changes in play themes across the play therapy process.
The second
major research impetus has been on disturbances in parent-child
attachment. We are now collecting data on effective assessment
measures for use with foster and adopted children. We are also
beginning to explore the relationship between attachment
difficulties and therapeutic process, especially play therapy."
