What is the definition or description of: child play therapy?

A psychology evaluat: Play therapy is an non threatening way to learn what is going on in a child's mind. It is not an exact science but is very good for evaluating for sexual or physical abuse and also serves as an outlet for children to work out their anxieties.

Safe environment: Play therapy looks like regular play between a therapist and a child, but through play allows a therapist to see how a child sees the world, interacts with others, deals with adversity, and allows open dialogue on a host of topics. Over time, a play therapist can pick games and activities that shape attitudes, help with stress and issues, and pick up on more serious problems.
