To discuss the benefits and feasibility of play therapy in pediatric oncology.
This is highlighted through the use of a case report of non-directive play therapy with a 4 y- old girl, diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. The outcome of play therapy was examined using a combination of qualitative and quantitative assessments.
The benefits of play therapy with this child were manifested in better illness adjustment and general mental well-being, enhanced coping, and normalization.
Having illustrated benefits of play therapy in pediatric oncology, this paper discusses its feasibility and proposes avenues for clinical practice and research endeavours.
