For Professional Play & Child Therapists

    Computer Game for Play & Child Therapy Services

This is a wonderful tool for parents and children as well as for therapists. Creative, imaginative and lots of fun! A must-have for families going through divorce!

- Cloe Madanes, author of Strategic Family Therapy 

The Psychological Aspects

Most episodes are built around the emotional effects of divorce on children, and are dealt with through:

  • The dialogue, which combines seriousness with humor and wit, and deals indirectly with children and divorce.
  • The ability to express feelings in a diary through the main character’s eyes and discuss the psychological effects of divorce.
  • Characters that represent different philosophical and therapeutic points of view.
  • A unique game interface that brings the proven benefits of both play therapy and bibliotherapy to life.

How is Zipland’s play therapist version different from the regular version?

children and divorce interactive quest journalWith Zipland’s play therapist version, child therapists can now conduct a computer driven therapy session, selecting their preferred episodes as needed.

The therapist package includes a play therapist kit as well as a regular version of the game that may be given to a child to play at home alone or with the parent - this is the recommended way to use the tool.

We have also taken into account that there are therapists, teachers, counselors and educational counselors that may want to use the game with individuals that are not familiar with computer games and therefore the therapist’s version includes a built-in video tutorial. It is also recommended to view our free Video Gallery (second video on the page) for specific instructions on how to use the game as well as basic game functions.
