About the course
About the workshop:
Using Erich Neumann’s map of ego development as a guide, this one-day training focuses on understanding and facilitating the stages of play that help children resolve trauma, become better regulated, handle big emotions and individuate. These stages are manifest in the imagery and energy of the play process.
In his classic book The Origins and History of Consciousness, Neumann re-envisions ego development using mythology – creation myths, hero myths and transformation myths. When the child is fully engaged in the play process we may witness Neumann’s stages in action… and both psyche and body transform, defense systems reorganize and the individuation process resumes, following Neumann’s map. This training is also influenced by the work of Bowlby, Winnicott, Jung and Erikson and will use theory, case material and experiential process. Recommended for both seasoned therapists and those new to the field.
Dennis was a pioneer in play therapy and has been working with children and adults for 45 years. His approach has been described in books, articles and keynotes.
