Play Therapy: The Psychological Healing

Abstract

Humans, just like a few other animals, possess the tendency to play as children and even as adults. Play is a source of all kinds of capacities and development required by us, be it social, emotional, physical, emotional, cognitive. Distinct from self-initiated play, play therapy is used as a clinical application of play intended to treat children suffering from trauma, emotional issues, and other problems. This paper would throw light on the psychological aspects of play therapy that act as a mind-body
healing for children and, in the present scenario, even for adults.
