In "Therapeutic Meaning of Non?directive Play Therapy I,II," the three core characteristics of this therapy, which were non-direction, empathizing, and acceptance were discussed. In this paper, "Therapeutic Meaning of Non-directive Play therapy III," other fundamental aspects, such as "limitation" and "the role of toys" are discussed from interpersonal theory perspective. Some may be concerned that "non-direction" and "limitation" are mutually exclusive; however, "limitation" is in fact essential for Non-directive Play Therapy to be effective. There are roughly two types of limitations: the limitation of space and time, and the limitation of relationship. Limitation of space and time isolates clients and therapists from the outside world and therefore facilitates them to be open and bond with each other. It also bridges therapeutic space and the real world. The limitation of relationship allows the therapy to continue maintaining a healthy relationship and foster a comfortable environment for chiildren, which in turn allows them to play freely. Toys are obviously important for children's development and learning. However, they also serve an important function as a medium to both represent a child's inner world and to connect the child and therapist.
