Yes, that sounds to me like it could be very effective, as far as really getting inside the mind. I find it quite interesting, I'd love to hear more!

And my latest endeavor, which I never made work... but I will this time!
Have Playmobil, will travel! (for my off site clinic, one half day a week)

Playmobil makes some sets that may be perfect for this.

Any link to more, and easy-to-read, info?

The Association for Play Therapy explains play therapy this way:
"Therapists strategically utilize play therapy to help children express what is troubling them when they do not have the verbal language to express their thoughts and feelings (Gil, 1991). In play therapy, toys are like the child's words and play is the child's language (Landreth, 2002). Through play, therapists may help children learn more adaptive behaviors when there are emotional or social skills deficits (Pedro-Carroll & Reddy, 2005). The positive relationship that develops between therapist and child during play therapy sessions provides a corrective emotional experience necessary for healing (Moustakas, 1997)."

Thanks for the ideas!  I think I found one that I should have looked at all along:
