Abstract :
Nowadays, the issue of mourning has been considered by researchers in prestigious universities around the world. One of the reasons for researchers attention to this issue is that mourning is often manifested as the underlying cause of various mental and sexual disorders. Mourning is especially important for children because if they deal with this issue and simply ignore it, these children will face great social problems in the future. Play therapy is one of the treatment methods for children that has many uses and one of its applications is in mourning children. In addition, depression is one of the most common mental conditions that affects children and adolescents for various reasons that can be eliminated with play therapy. Therefore, in this article, we decided to examine the effect of play therapy on children s mourning. The research method of this article is library type which was done by using reliable sources and related articles. Finally, after studies, we found that play therapy is an effective way to improve behavior, develop self-concept and improve social skills. In fact, during play therapy, the therapist creates a dynamic communication network with the child and provides them with the opportunity to better discover, express and understand thoughts and feelings. Receiving such services by children is often costly for parents. Play is a child s language in which he expresses his true self regardless of any restrictions. The essence of play is fun, and this is the first therapeutic property of play that engages the child with a pleasurable activity that creates a feeling of joy and cheerfulness in the child. This pleasure encourages the child to continue the treatment and gives the therapist a chance to continue the treatment until the result is achieved
