1. Artificial Intelligence Demystified

This opening module gives therapists an accessible but robust foundation in AI. It demystifies the terminology, clears common misconceptions, and shows how AI systems have evolved to impact daily life.

2. How Does AI Learn?

This module gives therapists a peek behind the curtain: how does AI actually “learn” to make decisions? Understanding the differences between AI models builds confidence in evaluating which tools are trustworthy, how they make predictions, and where bias might creep in.

Modules

3. AI in Daily Life

This module helps therapists connect the dots between the AI systems shaping everyday life and the subtle psychological impacts they may trigger. By understanding personalization logic and potential harms, therapists gain insight into how clients relate to digital systems and how to respond with informed care.

4. New Frontiers: Human-Centred AI (HCAI)

This module introduces a foundational shift in AI, moving from autonomous systems to tools that extend human values and agency. Through case studies in museums and cultural spaces, it demonstrates how human-centred design is already shaping user experiences, and how these principles can later be adapted to clinical, creative, and therapeutic spaces.

5. AI in Mental‑Health Care

This module takes the design principles introduced in the previous module and brings them directly into the therapy room. Therapists will explore how AI can support the therapeutic process. Using a real-world case study taken from clinical trials it maps risk mitigation and best practices to amplify therapeutic outcomes.

6. Affective Computing for Art Therapy

This module gives therapists practical insight into how affective computing extends their ability to detect subtle affective shifts, monitor emotional dynamics, and access nonverbal signals that enhance therapeutic precision, especially in digital, remote, or hard-to-access contexts.

7. Immersive Technologies in Arts Therapy

This module introduces the foundations of immersive technologies and trains therapists to adapt classic art therapy techniques from guided exposition to drawing and sculpting into virtual environments. Using immersive wearables such as VR headsets, therapists explore how presence, embodiment, and spatial interaction can support trauma recovery, remote care, and new modes of creative expression. This module prepares therapists to lead in the future of digitally mediated therapeutic practice.

8. Measuring Therapeutic Effects

This module introduces non-invasive Neurophysiological sensing tools that can help therapists evaluate what’s working in a session. By integrating objective and subjective data, therapists gain new insight into client progress and session design.

9. Regulation, Data Protection and  Therapist Accountability

This module provides the legal, ethical, and clinical safeguards therapists need when working with AI and digital tools. It covers GDPR, HIPAA, the EU AI Act, consent, anonymization, and AI risk classification, alongside best practices for maintaining clinical judgment, professional boundaries, and clear human–machine role separation.

10. Capstone Project & Integration

In this final module, therapists bring it all together. Participants design their own AI-augmented arts therapy project, a fully scoped, ethically considered pilot with full access to devices and the BCI toolkit. This is where therapists step into their new role as digital innovators, ready to lead change in their institutions.
