From the Paper:

"This is a critical review of some of the research literature on play-based intervention. Children learn from play and also are drawn to it, so using play as a means of intervention for children with various problems is a good way to get the child to participate and to do so in a way that is effective and valuable. Watson (2004) offers some of the rationale for play therapy, noting that when children play, they often enact some theme that is traumatic or negative for them. Among these are anxious anticipation at the beginning of kindergarten, the reenactment of a recent hospitalization or a frightening movie. "
