Which goal should be included in the plan of care for a child in play therapy for problems stemming from being bullied at school?
A) The child will enjoy puppet play.
B) The child will play with the puppets for 30 minutes.
C) The child will engage the puppets in assertive behavior.
D) The child will begin to play aggressively with the puppets.
Ans: C
Puppet play is a therapeutic modality with more specific goals. This may be a secondary therapeutic effect. There are no data to suggest that time is of importance. Puppet play is focused on helping the child find a way to solve the problem with the bullies at school. Working this out through the puppets will assist with doing it at school. Finding ways of solving the problem with the bullies is a therapeutic effect; however, being aggressive will not solve the problem.
