Intermediate Training in Gestalt Play Therapy

What's In It For Me

“Information is a source of learning. But unless it is organized, processed, and available to the right people in a format for decision making, it is a burden, not a benefit”. - William Pollard 

In the clinical practice, there is a compelling need to organize the information gleaned from the therapeutic process to provide relevant insights and support for our clients.

 

This Intermediate Training is the second core skills training in Gestalt Play Therapy, designed for those who have completed the Basic Training in Gestalt Therapy.
