The Children's Play Therapy Instrument (CPTI) shows good reliability for assessing child play in psychotherapy. This new tool can reliably measure play activity, aiding in child therapy research and practice.

Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Psychotherapy Research
  • Clinical Assessment Tools

Background:

  • Assessing child's play activity in psychotherapy is crucial for understanding therapeutic processes.
  • Existing instruments may lack comprehensive measures for play dynamics.
  • The development of reliable assessment tools is essential for advancing child psychotherapy research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and reliability of the Children's Play Therapy Instrument (CPTI).
  • To evaluate the CPTI's potential as a reliable measure of child's play activity in individual psychotherapy.

Main Methods:

  • The CPTI was developed to examine child's play activity during psychotherapy sessions.
  • Three independent raters assessed eight videotaped play therapy sessions using the CPTI.

  • Interrater reliability was calculated using intraclass correlation coefficients and kappa statistics.

    • Main Results:

    • Good to excellent interrater reliability was achieved for ordinal categories of the CPTI (intraclass correlation coefficients).
    • Acceptable to excellent interrater reliability was found for nominal categories of the CPTI (kappa levels).
    • The CPTI demonstrated promising reliability in measuring play activity.

    Conclusions:

    • The Children's Play Therapy Instrument (CPTI) is a reliable tool for assessing play activity in child psychotherapy.
    • Further research is recommended to establish the CPTI's discriminant validity for diagnostic and outcome measures.
    • The CPTI has the potential to be a valuable instrument in child psychotherapy research and clinical practice.
