Klein's Play Technique

Klein's Play Technique, developed by psychoanalyst Melanie Klein, is a therapeutic method that uses play as a way for children to express their thoughts and feelings. In this approach, toys and play materials serve as a medium for children to communicate their emotions and experiences that they may not articulate verbally. The therapist observes these interactions to gain insights into the child's inner world, helping to uncover underlying issues, conflicts, or anxieties. This technique aids in understanding the child’s perspective and fosters emotional growth and healing through creative expression.
