Play Away Stress!

The Use of Play Therapy Mediums in a Stress Management Programme With Corporate Employees

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

There is a growing need for corporate employees to
be able to manage their stress levels and use stress
to their own, and to the organisation s, advantage.
Employees often experience stress because of an
excessive workload, a high expected work pace,
difficult work schedules, role conflict, uncertainty
regarding career security, poor interpersonal
relationships and unpleasant working conditions and
many more. Research was done within the corporate
environment. The author developed a stress
management programme which was presented to
corporate employees. The stress management programme
served as an intervention because it could enhance
the functioning of the corporate employees with
regard to their stress levels and also their general
functioning within the organisation and in their
personal lives. Play therapy is traditionally used
with children but relevant literature and the
author s own experience from the research has shown
remarkable results in the use of play therapy
mediums with adults. The literature as well as the
empirical study showed that play itself has a number
of therapeutic elements that produce behaviour
change.
