"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales."
-Albert Einstein
When choosing a Therapist for your family, don't forget, a child's brain is wired for fantasy! Elements of fantasy and metaphor are often used in Child and Family Therapy. Fantasy and metaphor are useful for modeling, providing a safe place for self-expression and promoting empathy.
When therapy involves kids, art, play and psychodrama may be used in addition to “talk therapy.” The key is to provide a child-centered environment where the child has the opportunity to express his feelings appropriately in a way that does not depend on his verbal skill or maturity. This is where a therapist who has advanced training in child-centered modalities can help.
