Ethics in Play Therapy


Supervision Video Jeff Ashby, PHD, ABPP, RPT-S


Conducting clinical supervision in play therapy provides ample


opportunity for coming into contact with complex ethical dilemmas. The Association for Play Therapy recorded Jeff Ashby, PhD, ABPP, RPT-S, on  navigate common play therapy ethical issues. This workshop is available on the APT website and a play therapist can earn two continuing education (CE) hours in the categories of play therapy, supervision, and ethics. The website allows viewing of the high-quality video, downloading of relevant handouts, and access to the quiz with user-friendly ease.


There are several stated learning objectives to this online CE course:         relationships in play therapy. 2. Apply ethical issues to play therapy case studies. 3. Discuss differences between consultation and supervision.

As a psychologist, Dr. Ashby relies on data from ethical codes pertaining  

learning prompts or exercises. This may impact play therapists’ felt engagement with the material.


Although Dr. Ashby’s use of humor in his presentation style may not appeal to everyone, he is a gifted speaker and his information and case studies highlight the importance of remaining prepared and responsive during ethical discussions in supervision. Overall, I would recommend this video-based CE course to other play therapists: The workshop content is important, applicable, and actionable in play therapy practice and supervision.
