The therapeutic path of 3D Therapy® is applied in 12 subjects of different ages and psychopathological problems, in the initial phase it is expected to evoke negative emotion with the solicitation of chromatic and verbal stimuli. The negative emotion evoked and actualized is transposed into graphic form and subsequently transformed into a 3D object, presented immediately afterwards to the subject on a luminous plane. The 3D object becomes an active element in the therapeutic setting, materializes and "reflects" the dysfunctional emotion evoked by the subject

Already in the first phases of observation, a dynamic process with a strong emotional-cognitive impact is activated in the subjects, visible through the eye movements of search and fixation. The subjects explore the 3D object by synergistically coordinating the visual search with their manual skills on the 3D object. The subjects demonstrate an active exploratory process that leads to inner listening and emotional self-regulation, to the awareness of the perceptual-emotional-cognitive elements reflected by the 3D object and to their comparison and mentalization, up to the transformation of the underlying negative cognition, and reaching the appropriate behavioral solution.
