ABSTRACT

The increasing demand for effective interventions and preventative approaches to meet the emotional, social, behavioral, developmental, and academic needs of children in schools is well established. Child-centered play therapy (CCPT) has a long and rich history of both practice and research within the school setting with many important lessons for school counselors and researchers. Furthermore, there are promising opportunities for continued development of a child-centered approach to school counseling that extends beyond the counselor-student relationship to include more comprehensive, preventative, and systemic interventions within the school context.

Der wachsende Bedarf an effektiven Interventionen und präventiven Ansätzen, um die emotionalen, sozialen, verhaltens- und entwicklungsspezifischen sowie intellektuellen Bedürfnisse von Schulkindern zu erfassen, ist nun etabliert. Kind-zentrierte Spieltherapie (CCPT) hat eine lange und reiche Geschichte bezüglich Praxis und Forschung im schulischen Setting mit vielen wichtigen Lektionen für schulische Beratungspersonen und Forschende. Zudem gibt es vielversprechende Gelegenheiten für die Weiterentwicklung eines kindzentrierten Ansatzes in der schulischen Beratung, die über die Beratungsperson-Schulkind-Beziehung hinausgeht, hin zu umfassenderen, vorbeugenden und systemischen Interventionen innerhalb des schulischen Kontexts.

Esta bien establecida la creciente demanda de intervenciones eficaces y de enfoques preventivos para satisfacer las necesidades emocionales, sociales, conductuales, de desarrollo y académicas de los niños en las. La terapia de juego centrada en el niño (CCPT en ingles) tiene una larga y rica historia de práctica e investigación en el ámbito escolar, con muchas lecciones importantes para investigadores y consejeros escolares. Además, existen oportunidades prometedoras para el desarrollo de un enfoque centrado en el niño en el counseling escolar que se extiende más allá de la relación Counselor-estudiante, a intervenciones más integrales, preventivas y sistémicas en el contexto escolar.

L’augmentation des demandes d’interventions efficaces et d’approches préventives visant à rencontrer les besoins émotionnels, sociaux, comportementaux, développementaux et académiques des enfants dans les écoles est un fait bien établi. La thérapie par le jeu centrée sur l’enfant possède une riche et longue histoire de pratique et de recherche menées au sein du cadre scolaire; elle contient bon nombre d’enseignements importants pour les counselors scolaires et les chercheurs. De plus, pour le counseling scolaire, elle présente des opportunités prometteuses dans la poursuite du développement d’une approche centrée sur l’enfant qui se déploie au-delà de la relation counselor-étudiant et qui envisage des interventions plus compréhensives, préventives, systémiques conduites au sein du contexte scolaire.

A exigência crescente de intervenções eficazes, bem como de abordagens preventivas que vão ao encontro das necessidades emocionais, sociais, comportamentais, de desenvolvimento e académicas da criança, no contexto escolar, é sobejamente conhecida. A Ludoterapia Centrada na Criança (LCC) tem uma história longa e rica no contexto académico, quer no domínio da prática, quer no da pesquisa, oferecendo importantes ensinamentos aos conselheiros escolares e aos investigadores. A acrescer a isso, afiguram-se oportunidades promissoras de desenvolvimento continuado de uma abordagem centrada na criança em contexto escolar, que vai além da relação conselheiro-aluno e oferece uma intervenção mais compreensiva, preventiva e sistémica do contexto escolar.
