“…Neuroscience-informed protocols have been applied when working with traumatized patients and have demonstrated that art therapy: (a) facilitates the organization and integration of traumatic memories; (b) reactivates positive emotions and serves as a vehicle for exposure and externalization of difficult content; (c) reduces heightened arousal responses; (d) enhances emotional self-efficacy and maintains a space for the exploration of self-perception and psychic integration; and (e) enhances the development of identity (Chapman et al, 2001;Hass-Cohen & Carr, 2008;King, 2016;Malchiodi, 2020;McNamee, 2005McNamee, , 2006Tripp, 2007). However, the lack of scientific evidence to buttress these claims, perhaps stemming from a lack of clear research strategies, remains a challenge (Kubovy, 2019;Orkibi & Feniger-Schaal, 2019).…”

The uses of mobile brain/body imaging (MoBI) are expanding and allow for more direct study of the neurophysiological signals associated with behavior in psychotherapeutic encounters. Neuroaesthetics is concerned with the cognitive and neural basis of art appreciation, and scientific correlations are being made in the field that might help to clarify theories claimed in the creative arts therapies. Yet, most neuroaesthetics studies are confined to the laboratory and do not propose a translation for research methods and clinical applications. The creative arts therapies have a long history of clinical success with various patient populations and will benefit from increased scientific explanation to support intervention strategies. Examining the brain dynamics and motor behaviors that are associated with the higher complex processes involved in artistic expression offers MoBI as a promising instrumentation to move forward in linking ideas from neuroaesthetics to the creative arts therapies. Tracking brain dynamics in association with behavioral change allows for more objective and quantitative physiological monitors to evaluate, and together with subjective patient reports provides insight into the psychological mechanisms of change in treatment. We outline a framework that shows how MoBI can be used to study the effectiveness of creative arts therapy interventions motivated by the 4E approach to cognition with a focus on visual art therapy. The article illuminates how a new partnership among the fields of art therapy, neuroscience, and neuroaesthetics might work together within the 4E/MoBI framework in efforts to advance transdisciplinary research for clinical health populations.

“…In trauma, work art has been shown to support a reduction in acute stress symptoms (Talwar, 2007). It can help a client tap into the non-verbal realm of imagery (Cohen & Riley, 2000), and can integrate left and right hemisphere functioning that contributes to integration of difficult experiences (McNamee, 2006). It involves both hemispheres in accessing memories and working through emotions, bringing forward trauma that may have been locked in the somatic memory (Talwar, 2007).…”

“…The play with clay and painting activities serve to integrate right and left-brain functions; this helps to integrate traumatic experiences of COVID-19 (Bremmer 2002;Solomon & Siegel, 2003). The process of play, like the splashing of colours on the surfaces, allows a child to express their own images, even sense of the lived experience of the trauma of COVID-19 in ways that are uniquely personal and culturally situated (Cassou, 2001;McNamee 2006;Talwar, 2007).…”

The world is awakening to the nursing of devastating COVID-19 pandemic effects that resulted in the closure of school among others. Children’s welfare, especially playing was obstructed due to COVID-19 pandemic protective and preventive measures set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and other health agencies. Child developers assert that if a child is inhibited to play, despite valid reasons, it opens up to a paradox of problems in society. Educationists together with therapists have applauded the role play with any art forms goings beyond recreation to an expression of their desires, traumas, and elaboration of their conflicts and emotional healing. This paper has established the psychoanalysis and therapeutic process of a child affected by the COVID-19 pandemic while playing with paintings and clay. The researcher explored desktop descriptive qualitative research design. The psychoanalysis instrumentation was employed to evaluate the literature reviews, theoretical framework on its discussion. The paper has accepted the ravages caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and proposes to education stakeholders to consider playing with paintings and clay to playing groups or pre-schoolers as mitigation measures for a child affected by COVID-19. It has recommended an actual implementation of the study in the post-COVID-19 period once schools open to ascertain its validity.
