I’ve heard it said by mental health professionals and play therapists that case conceptualization doesn’t really matter when you’re working with clients.
When I dig a little deeper about their reasons, the response that I get is that play therapy and counseling is intuitive and it’s about building a strong relationship with clients.
When I challenge them a little, most of the time they are using case conceptualization to inform their decision making and don’t realize it.
My thought is that being more intentional about case conceptualization and how it helps provide excellent play therapy services to clients can only be a good thing.
