Harvey's play therapy approach combines play, art, movement, deo, and drama. Through
these expressiveplay activities, family interactive patterns, themes, and metaphors are identifiedTherapeutic play and art activities encourage family relatednessand help families reconnect
on a deepe more meaningful level. Harvey emphasizeshow "families have the creative
ability to addresstheir conflicts in a naturalistic manner and that they can and do use play in
their ongoing day-to-day life to both problem solve and resolve their basic emotional conflicts.
When their emotional distressbecomes too high, families lose their resourcefulness,and their
everyday playful exchangesbecome negatively impacted...Play therapy can help families develop
resourcefulnessto addressand problem solve their more specific concerns" (2009). Play and
art therapies also help families explore any parallels between the dynamics in sessionand the
interactions at home. This leads to greater insight and, ultimately, to positive changes within the
family.
Narrative therapists Freeman, Epston, and Lobots (79971use playful approaches to "direct the
focus away from the child as a problem and onto the child-problem relationship in a way that is
meaningful for adults as well as intriguing, not heavy-handedor boring, for children'"

may find a way to do so when given an opportunity to draw-or paint" (Klorer' 2006). When
family members engage in an arts or play-basedtherapeutic activity, they often express thoughts
and feelings that they otherwise may not feel comfortable expressing through traditional family
talk therapy. Art and play-basedactivities can unlock a deeper level of communication.

the roles of produce stage director, protagonist, and narrator. As a produce the therapist
createsconditions for the formation of the therapeutic system; as a stage director, the therapist
introduces situations that challenge the existing structure and push the family toward more
functional patterns; as a protagonist, the therapist takes the place of an additional member of
the family and unbalancesthe {amily organization; as a narrato the therapist comments on
observedinteractions and, by questioning each person's attribution of meaning to the behavior
of other family members, helps develop new meanings. While taking on these roles, the therapist
maintains such qualities as a respectfuicuriosity, a commitment to help families change, a
preference for concrete behaoral modifications over talk about changed feelings, a constant
ieadiess to formulate and modify hypotheses based on information teceived, and the ability to
imbue the sessionswith intensity while keeping the clarity of the therapeutic goal.

This includes

Using Questions
Integrating creative activities into family sessions can lead to rich and meaningful therapy.
However, the techniques are not the therapy-they are merely the tools to facilitate the
therapeutic process. The therapist usesthe activities as a springboard for further discussionand
exploration. Questions asked during or after particular activities can uncover clinical information,
guide the client to face issues,or facilitate insight. The therapist asksquestions that will reveal
how the family is interconnected and how it operates as a system. Patterson et al. (2009)
outlines four types of questions:lineal, circular, strategic, and reflexive. Lineal questions are
investigative,deductive, and content loaded, and information gathered from these questions
are meant to explain the problem. Circular questions are exploratory and uncover patterns
in the relationships. Strategic questions are challenging in nature and pose new possibilies
or positively influence the family system. Reflexiue questions bring about change in the family
without moving the family in any particular direction. Questioning is an important skill in family
therapy and, when used appropriately, can foster change and growth in clients.

Normalizing
Clients often feel isolated and alone, or they believe they are crary or abnormal. An important
therapeutic skill is to normalize clients' experiences. To effectively do this, the therapist must
have some knowledge of the behaors, reactions, and experiencesthat fall within the normal
range. Normalizing helps to relieve clients' anxiety about a particular problem and sets a positive
tone in therapy.

Reframing
Reframing is when a therapist retells or reconstructs the language used by a family about its
problems. An effective reframing provides a new context that gives the problem a new meaning
(Rivett & Street, 2OO9l. Creativity is required on the part of the therapist in order to reinterpret
symptoms and behaviors presented in therapy.

Confronting
There are times in the treatment process when the therapist needs to confront the client.
When confronting clients, the therapist must do so in a careful and sensitivemanner, and the
timing must be appropriate. Confrontation is necessaryin order to bring about change in family
systems.
'
Pacing
Pacing refers to how slowly or quickly material is addressedin sessions.The therapist can
influence the pace by "creating opportunities for further exploration of a particular issue,
changing the focus to another topic, adding depth or breadth to the discussion,or exploring the
emotions related to the issue" (Pattersonet al., 2009) . Mnoring a client's behavior involves
moving at the client's pace. Leading is when the therapist guides the client in a certain direction
Sessionsneed to be paced appropriately-if the pace is too slow, clients may feel frustrated that
progress is not being made. On the other hand, if the therapist prematurely leads the client in
a direction that he/she is not ready for, it can lead to a negative therapeutic response- Specific
:'
techniques that hasten the pace of therapy include "asking open-ended questions, leading in a
particular direction, identifuing the process in the session,and focusing on the here and now"
(Pattersonet al., 2009).

Offering Psychoeducational
The psychoeducationalprocess is an important element in family therapy. The therapist
assessesthe family's skill and knowledge in a variety of areas, so that the appropriate role for
psychoeducation is clarified. The therapist helps the family gain insight, educatesclients about
particular issues,and facilitatesskill-building.As the family learns and changes, progress is made,
and a positive outcome is experienced.
ldentifuing Family Strengths
Assessmentand treatment sessionsmust focus on identifuing and addressingpresenting problems
r.iin the family. However, it is equally important to focus on family strengths, as this gives the
rlrerapist and family "an opportunity to discover,or rediscover,positive qualities about individuals
r,rithin the family and the family as a whole" (Pattersonet al., 2009),
