Theraplay© is an Anglo-Saxon, relational and interactive therapeutic method based on attachment theory. Its model draws on the attuned interactions between parents and children that foster secure attachment and support mental health throughout life. It is based on the natural, playful way interactions unfold between children and parents, offering support to struggling families and helping them develop the responsiveness and structure essential to a child's development. This method shows parents concretely how to use play to communicate love and authority, and to guide their child through interactions that will build their skills, self-esteem, and self-confidence.
It is a brief, intensive approach centered on the "here and now," which actively involves parents in sessions with their child. Theraplay© can achieve clinical changes that are not always attainable through verbal therapies or non-directive play approaches.

Simple, practical, more accessible, on-line therapies have many advantages. In addition, several scientific studies have shown that teleconsultations are just as effective as in-office therapy. These studies looked at various disorders such as depression (1), anxiety, panic disorders or phobias (2 and 3).
