The purpose of this mixed methods case study was to examine the course of a ten-session play therapy intervention and its impact on the individual symptoms of grief in children. It studied the process that occurred throughout the ten play therapy sessions including themes that manifested during this process. Participants ranged in age from two to ten years old. All had experienced the death of a parent and were recruited through a peer support bereavement program in the community. A multiple case study design was used and several measurements were taken to get a better understanding of the play therapy process and its impact on the symptoms of grief in children. Participants received a pretest which consisted of the parent version of the Child Behavioral Checklist (CBCL) (Achenbach & Rescorla, 2000, 2001) along with the Parenting Stress Index (PSI) (Abidin, 1983). The same assessments were administered at the five-week mark and as a posttest. Five out of the eight participants completed the ten-session intervention. In addition, before and after each session, participants were asked to indicate their current level of pain on the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale (Wong & Baker, 1988). Last, play themes and emotions were identified, session transcripts coded, and the data was analyzed using the MAXQDA qualitative software. The results indicated that the process of play therapy with grieving children is unique and a variety of emotions and play themes were exhibited. Emotions included, fear, anger, confidence, curiosity, happiness, hesitation, and sadness. Themes that were played out included aggression/revenge, broken, burying/drowning, cleaning, creative/expressive, death/loss/grieving, exploratory, helpless/inadequate, mastery, messing/creating chaos, nurturing, power/control, relationship, rescue/protect, safety/security, and sorting/organizing.

"Children vary in their response to the death of a loved one. Some children develop relatively few symptoms or problems, while others face significant or prolonged symptoms, such as posttraumatic stress disorder or anxiety. Similarly, children vary in their circumstances and preferences. Thus, clinicians who work with bereaved children must customize interventions to meet the specific needs of each individual child. This book presents Integrated Grief Therapy for Children--an evidence-based model for treating bereaved children that draws extensively on cognitive-behavioral, family systems, and narrative approaches to therapy. The model shows clinicians how to assess the needs of bereaved children, treat common distressing symptoms (depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and behavioral problems), and address the grief itself while fostering resilience. Because emotional and behavioral problems following grief are manifested in different ways, the model allows for flexibility based on the age, symptom presentation, and needs of the child. And because the inclusion of a surviving parent or caregiver is critical to working with grieving children, the model involves the parent in the interventions. With a thorough literature review on bereavement in childhood, extensive case examples and dialogues to illustrate therapeutic techniques, and over 20 activity handouts that therapists can photocopy and use in sessions, this book provides everything needed to treat bereaved children"--Publicity materials.
