Play therapy is a popular form of child psychotherapy that is used to treat a variety of childhood problems. Like other forms of child psychotherapy, treatment dropout is a problem that needs to be addressed. Drop-out from play therapy is more likely to occur among families headed by a single parent who is young and economically disadvantaged. Improving retention in play therapy requires that efforts be made to make services more accessible to families by considering the proximity of services, access to transportation and scheduling flexibility.
