YES! Powerful stuff!: Psychodynamic psychotherapy in kids began in 1909 when sigmund freud supervised the treatment of 5 y/o little hans, by his father. Pd play therapy is based on the belief that kids' play has a symbolic, unconscious meaning... That can be observed, engaged & uncovered for diagnostic and healing purposes. A psychologist will let you know if they work with kids within a pd framework...
