PLAY THERAPY RESEARCH

Introduction

The BAPT Research Sub-Committee was first established in 2002 and revived in 2008. The Research Sub-Committee is currently chaired by Claire Harrison-Breed.

The BAPT Research Sub-Committee plays an important role in BAPT's commitment to develop, support, promote/publicise and encourage research.

The BAPT Research Sub-Committee contributes to BAPT's overall aim to develop the play therapy profession and to make it widely recognised and understood by the general public, consumers, purchasers, and by allied professionals.
