Play therapy is increasing in popularity as a treatment tool. Search the internet and you will find loads of toys for the treatment provider. Most sell products and toys with no explanation as to how to apply the tools. Purchase a family of dolls without gender allowing the treatment provider to identify the gender. All based on a model that says that it's important to allow the therapist to help the client identify the toys the way the child wants to view them. The debate continues as to whether or not treatment is directive or reflective. Direct treatment processes often take an active approach to treatment.
