ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the rationale for integrating play and solution-focused brief therapy in a way that intrigues you and gets your own creative skills flowing. It aims to add to the scant literature integrating Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) and child therapy and play therapy. Using play in therapy is transtheoretical, just as using talk is transtheoretical. Therefore, play is a tool, and, like talk, is an important communication tool. Family play therapy is the convergence of play therapy and family systems. Integrating SFBT, play, and family therapy serves to strengthen relationships and gives everyone a voice in solution building for joint efforts in identifying what will be happening when goals are met and therapy is finished.
