The recognition and incorporation of evidence-based neuroscientific concepts into creative arts therapeutic knowledge and practice seem valuable and advantageous for the purpose of integration and professional development. Moreover, exhilarating insights from the field of neuroscience coincide with the nature, conceptualization, goals, and methods of Creative Arts Therapies (CATs), enabling comprehensive understandings of the clinical landscape, from a translational perspective. This paper contextualizes and discusses dynamic brain functions that have been suggested to lie at the heart of intra- and inter-personal processes. Touching upon fundamental aspects of the self and self-other interaction, the state-of-the-art neuroscientific-informed views will shed light on mechanisms of the embodied, predictive and relational brain. The conceptual analysis introduces and interweaves the following contemporary perspectives of brain function: firstly, the grounding of mental activity in the lived, bodily experience will be delineated; secondly, the enactive account of internal models, or generative predictive representations, shaped by experience, will be defined and extensively deliberated; and thirdly, the interpersonal simulation and synchronization mechanisms that support empathy and mentalization will be thoroughly considered. Throughout the paper, the cross-talks between the brain and the body, within the brain through functionally connected neural networks and in the context of agent-environment dynamics, will be addressed. These communicative patterns will be elaborated on to unfold psychophysiological linkage, as well as psychopathological shifts, concluding with the neuroplastic change associated with the formulation of CATs. The manuscript suggests an integrative view of the brain-body-mind in contexts relevant to the therapeutic potential of the expressive creative arts and the main avenues by which neuroscience may ground, enlighten and enrich the clinical psychotherapeutic practice.
将基于证据的神经科学概念识别并纳入创造性艺术治疗知识与实践，对于整合与专业发展而言似乎是有价值且有益的。此外，神经科学领域令人振奋的见解与创造性艺术疗法（CATs）的本质、概念化、目标及方法相契合，从转化的角度能够对临床情况有全面的理解。本文将探讨并讨论被认为是人际内和人际间过程核心的动态脑功能。涉及自我及自我与他人互动的基本方面，最新的神经科学见解将阐明具身、预测和关系性大脑的机制。概念分析引入并交织了以下当代脑功能观点：首先，将描绘心理活动在生活中的身体体验基础；其次，将定义并广泛探讨由经验塑造的内部模型或生成性预测表征的生成性解释；第三，将全面考虑支持共情和心理化的人际模拟与同步机制。在整篇论文中，将探讨大脑与身体之间、大脑内部通过功能连接的神经网络以及在主体 - 环境动态背景下的相互作用。这些交流模式将被详细阐述，以揭示心理生理联系以及心理病理变化，最后得出与创造性艺术疗法形成相关的神经可塑性变化。该手稿提出了一种在与表达性创造性艺术的治疗潜力相关的背景下，关于脑 - 身 - 心的综合观点，以及神经科学为临床心理治疗实践提供基础、启发和丰富的主要途径。
