Alma Therapy Dolls is a series of toys designed for children who are dealing with emotional problems and these toys are meant to be part of the therapeutic process. Many children deal with emotional problems as a result of neglect, lack of love and warmth, as well as physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. The dolls were selected to portray the range of emotions arising during the therapy session, such as fear, pain, emptiness, love, anger, and safety.
