title: "Color Your Life:" an assessment and treatment strategy for children.
abstract: The "Color Your Life" technique, a form of play therapy, is designed to help children become aware of the range of feelings possible, to talk about their own feelings and to move from action to verbal forms of expression. In this article, the authors describe the technique and its variations, and provide examples of its application in both assessment and treatment contexts.
