Abstract

ABSTRACT Teddy bear therapy evolved from psychoanalytic play therapy and Gardner’s mutual storytelling technique. It entails the telling of a story by the therapist and the child about a teddy bear that is facing difficulties similar to those of the child. Drawing on play and fantasy, the therapist engages the child in a non-threatening way, while simultaneously facilitating a person-centered milieu. Together the therapist and the child explore how changes to the teddy and the teddy’s relationships in the family, or broader system, ultimately bring about resolution of the teddy’s problem. Thus, change is understood at a relational or systemic level.

泰迪熊疗法简介:儿童心理治疗的系统家庭治疗方法

泰迪熊疗法是由心理分析游戏疗法和加德纳的相互讲故事技巧演变而来的。它需要治疗师和孩子讲述一个故事，讲述一只泰迪熊面临着与孩子相似的困难。治疗师利用游戏和幻想，以一种无威胁的方式与孩子互动，同时促进以人为中心的环境。治疗师和孩子一起探索泰迪熊和泰迪熊在家庭或更广泛的系统中的关系的变化如何最终解决泰迪熊的问题。因此，变革是在关系或系统层面上理解的。
