I am an integrative therapist that uses play and creative techniques in my practice and I am just starting a piece of research on the use of fantasy online games in therapy with children and young people, bases along the lines of the use of play therapy. Also thanks to Peter - I shall look up the auther he mentioned! Its nice to know that there are other people out there also looking into this kind of work. Linz HI,

Also thanks to Peter – I shall look up the auther he mentioned!

Its nice to know that there are other people out there also looking into this kind of work.

I developed a model for thinkng of art in a cognitive science model to inform process and therapy. I did a research study on consumer preferences of an interactive art therapy website in my undergrad. The Center for Arts in Health Research and Education at the University of Floriday has an intranet with gallery and chat for children in their cancer unit. Cathy Malchiodi wrote a book on virtual art therapy in the last fifteen years. Most of this I did not know either until I had spent time thinking I was alone, and I found it while searching. Kate Collie, www.katecollie.com, did a usability study on online group art therapy while a doctoral student at the University of British Columbia. I have been working to get an art therapy interactive system and social networking site up, and have been encouraged to produce a newer presentation of my models and research to propose, as a lack of funding makes it difficult when one works in mental health. Which I do. The NIH has grants for technology transfer from small businesses who want to research efficacy of new technologies in joint effort with institutions. There are media labs around the world concretizing empathic, sensititive computer programs, and developing wearable computers and facial recognition programs for the virtual world. Be in touch.
