The purpose of this study is to understand the play themes of physically abused children and the changing process of theses play themes from play therapy. Thirty-nine play therapy sessions of 2 physically abused children were transcribed, and the play themes in these sessions were analyzed. Six play themes were identified, including power/control, mastery/competence, exploratory, nurturance, relationship-building, and aggression. The main play theme is mastery/competence. A difference in frequency is apparent between the 2 children for power/control, exploratory, nurturance, relationship-building, and aggression. The changing process of the play themes is different between the 2 children. The relationship-building theme was initially demonstrated and changed to mastery/competence and power/control themes circulatively. The other child initially demonstrated the themes of relationship building and nurturance, and the themes of mastery/competence and power/ control followed. The relationship building, mastery/competence, and power/control themes were shown circulatively during the latter portion of therapy. |
