Supervision in Group Play Therapy: A Skills Checklist

The authors developed a skills checklist for use in teaching reflecting skills to play-therapists-in-training using the modality of group play therapy. Specifically, the skill sheet uses the construct areas of connect, capable, count, and courage, described in Adlerian play therapy literature as the Crucial Cs. The authors describe how the Crucial Cs can be used as a structure to facilitate deeper reflections on meaning in a context of Adlerian group play. The authors offer the Group Play Therapy Skills Checklist as a tool for supervisors to use when working with play-therapists-in-training.
