As a Play Therapist Supervisor supporting supervisees (or as someone on their way to becoming a supervisor), you know that working with children and their families involves a complexity that is like no other, especially when thinking about legal and ethical considerations. When navigating the ethical issues that arise during the play therapy process, we have found that many Play Therapy Supervisors often ask:- What exactly is my role and how do I stay in my role?
- What should my paperwork and documentation look like?
- What are my ethical responsibilities as a supervisor?
- How do I increase my awareness on how cultural diversity impacts play therapy, and thus supervision?"
