The researcher found little information in literature reviewed about how Gestalt Play
Therapy is being used in the treatment of visually impaired children. The aim of the
study was to expand knowledge regarding this issue.
A basic qualitative research study of an exploratory and descriptive nature was
undertaken to describe how this therapy may be used in the treatment of such
children. A representative sample was drawn from the population, consisting of
gestalt play therapists who previously provided assistance to these children, using a
purposive non-probability method. Data collection took place through the execution
of semi-structured telephone interviews. Collected data was analysed using the
Thematic Content Analysis to search for related themes (in line with the objectives of
the study) in transcribed interviews. The general conclusion drawn from the empirical
data was that gestalt play therapy can be used to good effect in the treatment of

The experiences of professionals utilizing sensory–motor play with young children in Gestalt play therapy / Elizabeth Sarah Janse van RensburgJanse van Rensburg, Liza January 2011 (has links)
The aim of this study was to explore and describe the experiences of professionals
utilizing sensory-motor play (SMP) with young children (YC) in Gestalt play therapy in
order to provide recommendations for professionals and to create an awareness of the
value of SMP in Gestalt play therapy. Coming from an occupational therapy
background, the researcher became aware of the potential value of utilizing sensorymotor
play in Gestalt play therapy with YC. SMP, being a vital part of the sensory
integration developmental process of YC, promotes body awareness through muscle
movement and control. Awareness is one of the major aims of Gestalt play therapy. All
the senses contribute to YC's awareness, including the frequently unacknowledged
vestibu lar and proprioceptive senses. In order to treat YC holistically, the developmental
importance of SMP should be acknowledged and integrated in the therapy process.
Professionals young children working in this field, coming from diverse educational
backgrounds, do not necessarily have the knowledge or experience of the utilization of
SMPwith YC.
A qualitative research approach with a case study research design was adopted in
order to explore and describe the experiences of professionals regarding the utilization
of SMP with YC in Gestalt play therapy, through applied research. The empirical data
was collected by conducting two focus group discussions with professionals from
diverse educational backgrounds. Two main themes with different sub-themes and
categories were identified by analysing the data. The main themes are that participants
are of the opinion that SMP enhances the therapeutic relationship and that SMP has a
self-regulatory function.
The researcher concludes that professionals gained a new awareness regarding the
subject of discussion and experienced that uti lizing SMP in Gestalt play therapy with YC
can promote and facilitate whole body/mind awareness and integrated healing. / Thesis (M.A. (Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.

Die benutting van projektiewe tegnieke ten opsigte van die moeder se emosionele belewenis van 'n miskraam (Afrikaans)Venter, Estelle 13 October 2004 (has links)
Bereavement of a miscarriage is complex because of factors that are unique to this loss. There is no visible child to mourn for, no memories or shared life experiences. The death is sudden and there usually a lack of recognition of the significance of such a loss by society. In addition, women who miscarry are often in need of the absent social and emotional support that is provided with other types of bereavement. The suppression of appropriate mourning due to society’s inhibitions may cause further stress and long-term emotional consequences. Prenatal loss is unique in the sense that the parents do not know the object of loss as it would be with the death of a loved one who has been part of their lives and social structure. The anticipated child is both a fantasy child and an internal entity within a woman’s body. The loss of a baby is also the loss of part of a women’s self. The researcher is of the opinion that a miscarriage is a traumatic experience which, if not thoroughly dealt with, can cause great damage to a sufferer’s life. According to her, projective techniques in the form of play therapy can encourage women to talk about their miscarriage in order to deal with suppressed emotions. The purpose of this research was to determine to what extent projective techniques could be used in respect of a mother’s emotional experience of a miscarriage. For this study the qualitative research approach was used. The participants were selected by making use of purposive sampling as a form of non-probability sampling. During the empiric research two respondents attended eight in-depth interviewes with a therapeutic component. The first interview comprised a semi-structured interview schedule. Six interviews followed where projective play therapeutic techniques were used. The empirical data was obtained from the interview schedule and the researcher was the primer instrument of gathering information. The value of meaning that the participants attached to the subject was of great importance. The empirical data showed that the two participants were better enabled to deal with their miscarriages after the interviews. Thus, regarding the experience of the two paricipants, it was possible to answer the research question positively. It seems as if projective techniques can indeed be used in respect of a mother’s emotional experience of a miscarriage. / Dissertation (MA (Play Therapy))--University of Pretoria, 2005. / Social Work / unrestricted

Riglyne vir die hantering van die seksueel misbruikte kind in die middelkinderjareWilson, Lizane 30 September 2006 (has links)
Summaries in Afrikaans and English / Seksuele misbruik is 'n brutale vorm van kindermishandeling wat kommerwekkende afmetings in Suid-Afrika aanneem.

The research problem for the study was formulated as the lack of guidelines for the therapist to deal with the sexually abused child in middle childhood.
The aim of the study was to provide therapists' with guidelines designed from the approach of Gestalt play therapy for dealing with and empowering the sexually abused child in middle childhood. In order to achieve this goal, qualitative research was employed, while individual case studies were carried out by applying the therapeutic process to three victimized children.

The use of the Nine Figure Picture Story within Gestalt play therapy for adolescent survivors of sexual trauma / Susanchen Maria FourieFourie, Susanchen Maria January 2012 (has links)
Sexual abuse of children and adolescents has reached pandemic proportions in Namibia. It is widely
recognised that this traumagenic experience could have a profound and long-lasting effect on
survivors. Nevertheless, few survivors in Namibia access therapy; often because of non-disclosure or
non-reporting, being socioeconomically disadvantaged and the overburdened public sector therapists.
This study set out to explore how adolescent survivors use the Nine Figure Picture Story (9FPS)
embedded within the context of Gestalt Healing tasks. A variety of play therapy experiments was
used to raise the clients’ awareness and to evoke their therapy stories (as these relate to Gestalt
therapy) and their trauma stories (by means of the 9FPS). The researcher-therapist hoped that the
study would enhance the understanding of the meaning-making of sexually abused adolescent clients,
and in doing so, contribute to therapeutic practice in Namibia and elsewhere.
Research which aims to uncover personal meaning-making and hear the voice of the participants
already suggests that the qualitative paradigm would be apposite. An exploratory case study was
conducted in Namibia between August 2010 and November 2010. Two adolescent survivors of
sexual abuse who met the eligibility criteria were drawn from the population by means of nonprobability
sampling. The sample was heterogeneous: one participant was a survivor of chronic
intrafamilial rape; the other of a single incident, extrafamilial child sexual abuse (CSA). The data
corpus included six and ten recorded therapeutic sessions with the two clients respectively;
transcribed intake and termination semi-structured interviews with the parents; the researcher’s
process and observation notes; and the clients’ objets d'art and Therapy diaries. To capture the
tapestry of CSA accurately and holistically, the stories of the two participants were first analysed
individually and thereafter synthesised into a theoretical comparative analysis. Trustworthiness was
enhanced by means of investigator, theory, data and methodological triangulation. A number of
safety, beneficence and non-maleficence measures contributed to the ethicality of this sensitive
research.
The research uncovered that, despite their differences, the two participants presented with
posttraumatic signs and patterns often reported in the literature. Most insightful was how the
survivors disavowed the CSA to become “not me” (Joyce & Sills, 2006: 92). As it relates to
neurobiological hypotheses, it was revealed that the tactile and visuospatial Gestalt play therapy,
specifically the 9FPS, seemed to access and address the fragmented, non-sequenced and non-verbal
trauma memory. It was found that the 9FPSs gave the unfinished business from the past a
miniaturised dimension in the present and that the “differentiated unity” (Reynolds, 2005: 162)
enhanced its assimilation into the self. / Thesis (M.A. (Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012

The influence of animal-assisted play therapy on the self-esteem of adolescents with special needsSentoo, Gail Soobrayan 01 March 2004 (has links)
This research project focused on the influence of animal-assisted play therapy on the self-esteem of adolescents with special needs. The goal of this study was to ascertain whether principles of animal-assisted play therapy from the gestalt approach would enhance the self-esteem of adolescents with special needs. In order to achieve this goal, the following objectives were set out: to create a theoretical knowledge base through a literature study and consultation with experts, to conduct an empirical study in order to obtain qualitative and quantitative data and to formulate conclusions and recommendations with regard to the use of animal-assisted play therapy with adolescents with special needs. A combination of the quantitative and qualitative approaches was utilized, and applied research was done, as the focus was on practical solutions that is suitable for practice. A research hypothesis was posed, namely: If animal-assisted therapy from the gestalt approach is used with adolescents with special needs, their self-esteem will be enhanced. Two adolescents were selected as respondents through purposive sampling as sub-type of non-probability sampling. An empirical study was conducted through the use of questionnaires and interviewing as data-collection methods. The quantitative data was gathered through the use of self-constructed questionnaires and the Psychosocial Functioning Inventory for High School Children (PFI – HIGH – C) from Perspective College. The researcher utilized the A-B-A research design to conduct a pre-test and a post-test. Qualitative data was gathered through interviewing using the combined animal-assisted and gestalt play therapy techniques Empirical data was gathered and indicated improvement in the self-esteem of both the respondents who were exposed to the play therapy techniques. The research has thus shown that the use of animal-assisted play therapy does enhance the self-esteem of adolescents with special needs, and has benefits for future practice. The hypothesis of the study is thus proven to be true. / Dissertation (MSD (Play Therapy))--University of Pretoria, 2005. / Social Work and Criminology / Unrestricted
