Hild- centered play therapy (CCPT) is a theoretically-grounded and evidence-based intervention that recognizes the relationship between therapist and child as the primary healing factor for children who are experiencing emotional and behavioral challenges. Axline (1947) developed CCPT by applying Rogers s (1951) person- centered counseling approach to children. Initially referred to as nondirective play therapy , Landreth (2012), Guerney (2001), Ray (2011), and others further defined and developed CCPT. CCPT is supported by almost 80 years of research on its effectiveness and is recognized by formal agencies as a promising evidence-based treatment ( , California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse for child Welfare; APA Division 53 Society of Clinical child and Adolescent Psychology).
