Summary/Abstract: Play is like a magic. Anything can happen while playing. Play must be real. No pretending. It is like in contact with children. If they like you, they will share a lot of secrets with you. If they do not like you, they will not even talk to you. Children would never come to a psychologist by themselves. Their adult would bring them because he or she has been worried. I do not know of a better way how to be in real contact with children than playing with them. Virginie Axline used the therapeutic potential of play when she formulated 8 principles of the non-directive play therapy based on the Personal Centered Approach or PCA.
