ABSTRACT
T h e in c lu s io n of the child in therapeutic procedures de signed to help him with his behavior difficulties has stimu lated students in this field to study the nature and purpose of his participating activity. The considerable body of litera ture that has developed on this aspect of therapy has cen tered mainly on the therapeutic value of play, the child’s most natural medium of expression. Since it is essential to provide a child with the opportunity to use his natural tools and modes of expression, we see at once that play activity is an important factor in therapeutic work with children.
