The Conference
This is the first international conference on the current state of the art in cognitive-behavioral play therapy.
There will be presentations by experts in Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Children and Play Therapy.
This conference is an opportunity for clinicians and researchers to review current knowledge and future perspectives.
The conference goal is to disseminate information about CBPT, and bring practitioners and researchers together to discuss this important psychotherapy for young children.
CBPT integrates cognitive and behavioral interventions into a play therapy paradigm. Playful activity, as well as non-verbal forms of verbal communication, are used to promote the development of problem solving skills.
Therefore, the CBPT proposes a conceptual framework based on the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy, and making them appropriate to the child’s developmental level.
The Program
The theme of this first International Conference is Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy: a psychotherapy approach focused on preschool and early school age children and their parents. It is important to address the emerging psychological distress in young children through psychotherapy. This approach aims to involve children with different problems directly in therapy by integrating cognitive and behavioral interventions in the play therapy paradigm.
Play therapy research to date has largely supported the effectiveness of play therapy in a wide range of social, emotional, behavioral, and learning problems.
This congress aims to broaden and update current knowledge on this psychotherapeutic approach in light of the ever-growing needs for children with psychological issues. Further, broadening the CBPT research base is important for the clinical and scientific community.
