The purpose of this study was to apply integrated play therapy (IPT), which was developed by researchers into practice. This study examined the effect of IPT conducted with play therapy trainees and the original version of the IPT model. Further modifications were made based on the examination to construct a more complete and feasible IPT. Four trainees participated in this study. No trainee was formally trained in IPT or performed IPT before. Three interviews were conducted with each trainee before, during, and after the training program. The main findings of this study are shown as follows: 1. Effect of the IPT training program: (1) IPT offered a good frame of reference that allowed trainees to develop a more therapeutic mindset of client-centered play therapy. This assisted trainees to cultivate the view of object relations more deeply within themselves. (2) The supervisor of the group supervision session of IPT training was capable of becoming the selfobject for trainees, which assisted trainees in becoming the self-object for the children. (3) IPT training improved trainees' professional efficacy as they performed play therapy. (4) IPT training provided 2 personal growth for trainees: a. Inner object-relation change: more self-awareness, more self-healing, and growth. b. Outer object-relation change: higher flexibility among interpersonal contact and greater empathy. 2. Modification of IPT stages: (1) Stage of establishing relationships. (2) Stage of ambivalent symbiosis. (3) Stage of therapeutic symbiosis. (4) Stage of differentiation. (5) Stage of individuation. |
