Understanding the mental states of critically ill children during play therapy

Abstract

先天性心疾患と気管支喘息の2つの事例を通して、病弱児の心理について治療経過報告をもとに考察した。病弱であるがゆえに身近な死を遊戯療法などの中で扱うことの必要性や、身体そのものでなくイメージのレベルでも病気の意味を考えていくことが重要だと思われる。また、病弱児ならではの生活上の問題や家族との関係についての心理支援が必要性であろう。We examined two cases of treatment progress reports on critically ill children\u27s metal states, one with congenital heart disease and the other with bronchial asthma. We consider that it is important to think about being sick as a psychological image, rather than only something physical, and also about the necessity of dealing with the familiarity of death due to being sickly while in play therapy. Furthermore, we can understand that psychological support with the problem about their lives and families is essential for children who suffer from these diseases
