The CBPT Research Center is a collaborative initiative by Italian and American scholars dedicated to advancing Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy (CBPT), a unique approach that combines principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and play therapy to support child development. Founded by Dr. Susan Knell in 1993, CBPT modifies traditional CBT techniques to effectively address the emotional and developmental needs of children through playful engagement.

The center offers a variety of resources, including courses for clinical supervision and certification, as well as educational materials for parents and professionals, emphasizing the importance of play in developing coping strategies for young individuals facing challenges. With a commitment to enhancing children’s well-being, the center conducts research and organizes conferences, ensuring that its approaches are grounded in scientific rigor. By participating in the CBPT community, stakeholders can enhance their psychotherapy skills and contribute to a global effort to improve children's mental health through innovative therapeutic methods.
