This case study explores the perspectives of a 12-year-old boy client on domestic violence after witnessing his father beating his mother, and the change in Behavioral problems after play therapy. The client received 14 sessions of play therapy that were videotaped and transcribed. Qualitative data were analysed based on the research template, including perspectives on the self, the family, and domestic violence. Quantitative data were collected using the Chinese edition of the Self-Concept Scale of Elementary School Children and Achenbach's child behaviour checklist at pre-therapy and post-therapy, to evaluate the curative effects of play therapy. The following results included: 1. a positive client self-concept; 2. the client was concerned that his mother made most of his decisions for him; 3. the client expressed ambivalent feelings towards his father; 4. sibling rivalry was another concern requiring management for the client; 5. the client assumed self-blame for the domestic violence and did not express sympathy for his mother or blame for his father; 6. the client's behavioural problems decreased following play therapy. |
