摘要：Introduction "Play Therapy is based upon the fact that play is the child's natural medium of selfexpression. It is an opportunity which is given to the child to 'play out' his/her feelings and problems just as, in certain types of adult therapy, an individual ‘talk out' his difficulties.1,2 Children use play to express feelings and thoughts. Play emerges from the child's internal life and reflects the child's internal world. Therefore, children use play to express affect and fantasy and in therapy, to express troubling and conflict-laden feelings. The expression of feelings itself, sometimes termed catharsis, thought to be therapeutic.5,7 There are a few Indian studies on play therapy mainly focused on emotionally problems, conduct disorder and somatoform disorder in children.4,8,10 Play therapy is one of the most suitable therapeutic methods for children in acute grief situation.3 Authors stated that play oriented therapy remains the dominant and most enduring approach to child treatment in acute grief.6
