Outcomes of Trainees' Clinical Work
The first PTUK play therapy research report produced was based upon
the outcomes of a short-term play therapy project in over 20 schools.
This is available to PTUK members who contribute data to the UK national
database of clinical outcomes -
SEPACTO - developed and managed by PTUK.
Our second play therapy research report (Autumn 2005) is based upon the

Certificate and Diploma courses. The Goodman's SDQ was used as the
measuring instrument.
