In Psychotherapy of Children With Conduct Disorders Using Games and Stories, Dr. Richard A. Gardner demonstrates his approach to working with children who present with this common disorder. Children with conduct disorders are often incapable of understanding their own behavior, making this therapy very difficult. By using games and stories, Dr. Gardner allows young clients to self-disclose through metaphoric stories and within the boundaries of game play. In this session, Dr. Gardner works with a 12-year-old girl named Ruth who refuses to interact with him. His repeated invitations to her to play a therapeutic board game called "The Talking, Feeling, and Doing Game" result in her increased willingness to disclose her feelings. This video features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of actual case material. Read about precipitating events, stimulus questions, and preceding sessions with the client
Conduct disorders are among the most common problems for which children are brought for treatment, and they pose a formidable challenge for psychotherapists. These youngsters have a minimal capacity for insight into their problems, and their motivation to work on their difficulties is often very low.
Richard A. Gardner, MD, (1931–2003) was clinical professor of child psychiatry at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University. Dr. Gardner published more than 250 books and articles on various aspects of child psychiatry.
