摘要：Introduction: Child-centered play therapy is a well recognized and research-supported
form of child psychotherapy. Methods: Fifteen children in the age range of 5-11 years
(eight girls and seven boys) with somatoform disorder were administered 25 sessions of
non directive play therapy. Parents received 3 reflective counseling sessions. Children
were assessed with Children’s Global Assessment Scale, Interview Schedule for
Children and Adolescents, and Child Behaviour Checklist. Results: The mean
scores on global functioning and social competence increased and symptom severity
decreased significantly at post assessment. Conclusions: Child-centered play therapy
along with reflective parent counseling is an effective intervention for somatoform
disorders.
