SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
The theme of this Second International Conference is Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy: a psychotherapeutic approach focused on preschool and school-age children and their parents. It is important to address emerging psychological distress in young children through psychotherapy. This approach aims to engage children with various issues directly in therapy by integrating cognitive and behavioral interventions into the play therapy paradigm.
Research on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with children supports its effectiveness with a wide range of presenting problems. 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 conference aims to expand and update current knowledge on this psychotherapeutic approach in light of the ever-increasing needs of children with psychological problems. In addition, broadening the CBPT research base is important to the clinical and scientific community.
