How effective is Play Therapy?

Parents: 80% of the children referred with a borderline or abnormal condition, show a positive change.  This result is based on 10130 cases. 83% of the girls show a positive change compared to 78% of the boys.

Referrers: 77% of the children referred with a borderline or abnormal condition, show a positive change.  This result is based on 10840 cases, of which 31% were girls and 69% boys.  80% of the girls show a positive change compared to 75% of the boys.

This data show a very similar result comparing parents to referrers who are observing the children in different environments.  This suggests that play therapy is effective in enabling children to cope in many situations.
