Abstract
Research has shown that counselors and other providers often show bias when working with older adults, which can contribute to feelings of reduced self-esteem, independence, and self-concept in older adult clients. Play therapists are skilled in working with clients using experiential techniques that require less language engagement, are often more enjoyable, and can be more effective in allowing clients to work toward goals and overall wellness than more traditional talk therapy techniques.
