The Child-centered Play Therapy Scale

The Child-Centered Play Therapy Scale (CCPTS) is a tool used to assess children's behaviors during play therapy sessions. It measures various aspects of a child's communication and emotional development through play. The scale helps therapists observe how children express themselves, interact with toys, and manage emotions in a safe environment. By analyzing these play behaviors, therapists can better understand a child’s feelings, needs, and progress, ultimately guiding treatment approaches and fostering emotional well-being. The CCPTS is an important resource for evaluating the effectiveness of play therapy in supporting children's mental health.
