Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to systematically review and summarize the empirical evidence on the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral and Adlerian play therapy for children aged 3–12 years. Methods: In this context, experimental studies examining the efficacy of play therapies published in peer-reviewed journals in the English language in EBSCOhost, PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science databases between 2003 and 2023 were reviewed. Results: The findings indicate that play therapies are effective in addressing children's externalized and internalized behavior problems as well as language impairments. However, their impact on executive function and memory varied. Conclusions: Following an evaluation of the risk of bias in the included studies, it was concluded that cognitive behavioral and Adlerian play therapies effectively cope with problem behaviors and support cognitive functions in children. The strengths and weaknesses of the current study were discussed, and various suggestions were made for the future.
目的：本研究旨在系统回顾和总结3-12岁儿童认知行为和阿德勒游戏治疗有效性的实证证据。方法：在此背景下，我们回顾了2003年至2023年间发表在EBSCOhost、PubMed、Science Direct、Scopus和Web of Science数据库中同行评审的英文期刊上的关于游戏疗法疗效的实验研究。结果：游戏疗法对儿童的外化和内化行为问题以及语言障碍均有较好的治疗效果。然而，它们对执行功能和记忆的影响各不相同。结论：在对纳入研究的偏倚风险进行评估后，我们得出结论，认知行为和阿德勒游戏疗法可以有效地应对儿童的问题行为并支持儿童的认知功能。讨论了当前研究的优势和不足，并对未来的研究提出了各种建议。
期刊介绍：
Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
