To investigate the effectiveness of intensive child‐centered play therapy (CCPT) for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the authors randomly assigned 23 children with diagnosed ASD and symptoms of ASD on the Social Responsiveness Scale–2nd Edition (Constantino, 2012), to an intensive CCPT condition (n = 12) or a no‐intervention control group (n = 11). Children who participated in 24 sessions of CCPT showed a statistically significant decrease in ASD core symptoms and behavioral symptoms, such as externalizing problems, attention problems, and aggression, compared with children in the control group. Implications are discussed.

针对自闭症儿童的强化以儿童为中心的游戏疗法：一项初步研究

为了研究强化的以儿童为中心的游戏疗法（CCPT）对被诊断患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的儿童的有效性，作者在社会反应能力量表第二版中将23名诊断为ASD并伴有ASD症状的儿童随机分配了下来（Constantino，2012 ），CCPT强化（n = 12）或无干预对照组（n = 11）。与对照组儿童相比，参加CCPT 24课的儿童在ASD核心症状和行为症状（如外在问题，注意力问题和攻击性）上有统计学意义的减少。讨论了含义。
