Effective Caregiver Consultation in Play Therapy: A Program Evaluation

Lowe, Paige Mathison 12 1900 (has links)
This study examined the effectiveness of caregiver consultations in caregiver's child's play therapy process through a program evaluation lens. Archival data was used from a counseling clinic located in the central southwestern United States. Quantitative data was collected from caregiver who filled out assessments (PSI-4 and CBCL) about their child's progression through play therapy and both groups frequency of attendance. A regression analysis was used to determine if caregivers perceived changes from the initial session and up to 10 weeks later. Additionally, retention rates over a course of 60 weeks were analyzed. Key findings suggest there is a high dropout rate from play therapy between the initial session before 10 weeks. For those whose therapy extended up to 60 weeks, consultation attritions continued. Due to low attrition numbers the effect of caregiver filled out assessments was unable to be confirmed, but this study did show a need for an intervention focused on caregiver retention to reduce attrition rates. The body of this study shows how to thoroughly conduct a program evaluation based on a specific variable and provides suggestions for explaining evaluation findings to stakeholders.
