    This presentation will explore foundational concepts linking art therapy and neuroscience to inform theory, guide practice and support interdisciplinary research. Framed within a translational science perspective, this presentation will introduce accessible neuroscience principles from cognitive science and neurobiology - and demonstrate how they intersect with core mechanisms of change in art therapy, including symbolic expression, sensory-motor engagement and relational attunement. Drawing on clinical examples and findings from art therapy neuroscience-informed theory and research, the session will offer a conceptual roadmap for clinicians, educators, and researchers.

    Emphasis will be placed on integrating empirical rigor without sacrificing the profession's relational and creative foundations. Attendees will gain tools for articulating the value of art therapy using neuroscience-aligned language, enhancing communication with stakeholders, and inspiring collaborative innovation across disciplines. The session will be accessible and applicable to all experience levels.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Identify key neuroscience concepts relevant to art therapy theory and practice.
    • Describe how cognitive neuroscience and neurobiology models align with mechanisms of change in art therapy.
    • Apply translational frameworks to articulate art therapy's role in clinical, educational and research contexts.

    Child-Centred Play Therapy (CCPT) is a developmentally responsive, play-based mental health intervention for young children ages 3 to 10 who are experiencing social, emotional, behavioral and relational disorders (Landreth, 2012; Ray, 2011; Ray et al., 2021). CCPT utilises play, the natural language of children, and therapeutic relationship to provide a safe, consistent therapeutic environment in which a child can experience full acceptance, empathy and understanding from the therapist and process inner experiences and feelings through play and symbols. CCPT is well-supported by an extensive body of research literature that supports the intervention as effective for disruptive behaviors (Bratton et al., 2013; Cochran & Cochran, 2017; Ray et al., 2007; Ritzi et al., 2017; Wilson & Ray, 2018), anxiety (Stulmaker & Ray, 2015), autism spectrum disorder problem behaviors (Schottelkorb et al., 2020), social-emotional assets (Blalock et al., 2019; Taylor & Ray, 2021), and overall impairment (Ray et al., 2013).

    This workshop provides advanced training in CCPT, including theory, research and practice, with particular emphasis on person-centered and motivational interviewing approaches. 

    Learning Objectives:

    • Provide an advanced understanding of the theoretical basis of Child-Centred Play Therapy (CCPT)
    • Develop advanced knowledge and techniques of the practice of CCPT
    • Develop knowledge of the research evidence related to CCPT
