Edited by Dr. Elizabeth Kjellstrand Hartwig, this first-edition text brings together leading voices in the field who demonstrate how brief, goal-oriented therapy can be deeply playful, relational, and developmentally attuned. Through creative case examples, metaphors, and structured interventions, learners will explore how SFPT honors the child’s resources and agency, focusing on what’s working rather than what’s wrong. This course bridges the gap between traditional talk-based solution-focused work and the playroom, teaching therapists how to use toys, stories, movement, and art to spark hope, confidence, and measurable change. Participants will learn how to co-construct goals, amplify exceptions, and invite children to see themselves as capable problem-solvers through both play and dialogue. ***All APT Non-Contact CE Self-Paced Book Studies must be completed within 60 days of registration to receive a certificate.
