Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 3 February 2022
358. Deputy Thomas Gould asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science the number of first year places available by university for play therapy at undergraduate level in 2021 and 2022, in tabular form. [5698/22]
View answerPlay therapy is a form of counselling or psychotherapy in which play is used as a means of helping children to better express and communicate their feelings. Play therapy can be used by a range of education, health and welfare professionals. As such, there are no undergraduate degrees specifically in play therapy. Postgraduate qualifications are available and aimed at individuals who have a primary degree in a relevant discipline, or work with children in the health and welfare fields.
