Aggression And Aggressive Victim Themes In Play Therapy

May 19, 2023

In this episode, I’m continuing our discussion of Power and Control themes in play therapy with the Aggression and Aggressive Victim themes.

I discuss the difference between these two theme, as well as their difference between the Good vs Bad theme. Most importantly, I go into how we approach discussing these themes with parents.
