`n Ondersoek na die uitvoerbaarheid van spelterapie as ondersteuningsbron vir `n optimale leergeleentheid aan die kind in die laerskool / A study to explore the practicability of play therapy as a support system to primary schools in order to offer the child an optimal opportunity

This study was directed to explore the practicability of play therapy as a support system to primary schools in order to offer the child an optimal learning opportunity.

A need exists to support primary schools, to establish therapeutic services which will be available to all children with emotional, behaviour and social problems.

Gestalt play therapy can be used as a source of support within the context of the primary school. It is important that the therapist and teacher have sufficient knowledge around the different developmental phases of the child. In this study the focus was on the general characteristics, cognitive, social- and moral development of the primary school child.

A qualitative approach and by utilizing semi-structured interviews, were used in order to collect the data concerning the study. Results from the empirical research indicated that there is a definite necessity for therapeutic services, as support systems at primary schools, in order to assist the child to reach his/her maximum potential. / Social Work / M.Diac.
