Abstract
In this viewpoint paper, we present a conceptual framework for research on art therapy with children/adolescents diagnosed with cancer or blood disorders, their families, and healthcare providers. The framework was developed based on the authors’ extensive clinical experience with the pediatric hematology/oncology population, observations of mechanisms of change through the art therapy process, current literature based on the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual effects of art therapy with the pediatric hematology/oncology population, and identified gaps in research. The purpose of the conceptual framework, referred to as pediatric care and art therapy study (P-CATs) is to serve as a guide for future research studies and to further understand how art therapy serves the pediatric hematology/oncology population, their families, and healthcare providers.
