1. VIRGINIA ASSOCIATION OF PLAY THERAPY NEWSLETTER
Dynamic Play Therapy
Dynamic Play Therapy is an intervention style which encourages parents and children to engage in mutual expressive activities.

2. CLEARINGHOUSE ON ELEMENTARY AND EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
Filial Therapy
Children communicate through play (Axline, 1969; Landreth, 2002). It is their innate language. By teaching parents the language of play, and how to use play therapeutically, the communication gap between parent and child can be closed.

3. ASSOCIATION FOR PLAY THERAPY
