• In this study, the researchers used a single-case design to examine the effectiveness of nature-based child-centered group play therapy (NBCCGPT) with early elementary schoolchildren (N = 5) exhibiting behavioral problems. Children were randomly assigned to either a treatment or wait-list group. The treatment group participants (n = 3) demonstrated improvements ranging from debatable to effective with increasing on-task behavior and decreasing total problems. Additionally, the treatment group demonstrated more improvement with increasing on-task behaviors and decreasing total problems than did the wait-list group (n = 2). Implications for using NBCCGPT are also discussed.
