Abstract
Family therapists often provide treatment for the entire family. Talk therapy can be effective with older children, but young children do not have the capacity to respond to an abstract approach. Family play therapy is an approach that recognizes the developmental levels of all family members and provides activities that allow young children to actively participate in family sessions. This paper provides readers with the rationale for including young children in family therapy. This paper also demonstrates how a family play therapist can use expressive art activities. Examples from two family play sessions are included.
