The insertion of an LP shunt is usually indicated when the amount of CSF fluid in the subarachnoid space is more than usually desired. The other end of the shunt tubing or catheter is routed into the peritoneal cavity, an area in the abdomen and drains the excess CSF fluid here.
During play therapy, the therapist may deal with a childâs inappropriate behaviors by setting limits and enforcing consequences in such a way that it is up to the child to make the right behavioral choice to avoid the consequence. In this way, the child is encouraged to develop an internal sense of self-control.
There are many forms of play therapy. In child-centered play therapy, the therapist observes as the child is allowed to select from an array of toys and play whichever way he or she likes. In sand tray play therapy, which is becoming increasingly popular with registered play therapists (RPTs), the child may use figurines to develop scenes in the sand.
