Aims and Scope
The European Psychomotricity Journal (EPJ) is the official e-journal of the European Forum of Psychomotricity (EFP). It is an open access, peer-reviewed journal, published once a year.
The editorial policy of EPJ pursues the aims of the European Forum of Psychomotricity: to promote high standards of scientific study in the field of psychomotricity advancing the practice, research and education of Psychomotricity across Europe. Since 2024, under the EFP framework, the EPJ has expanded its scope to include both scientific and divulgative articles on an international level. This alignment reinforces the journal’s mission to disseminate psychomotor philosophy and benefit individuals of all ages globally.
Psychomotricity is an interdisciplinary field that integrates cognitive, emotional, symbolic and physical interactions, to enhance an individual’s ability to act and interact within a psychosocial context through movement and play. It is based on a holistic vision of the human being, emphasizing the unity of body and mind. The practice of psychomotricity involves various approaches across different European countries, focusing on the mutual influence of cognition, emotion, and movement on the development of personal competencies.
Psychomotricity is used in preventive, pedagogical, and therapeutic contexts, involving activities that promote well-being, prevent issues, provide care and support rehabilitation. It is relevant for all ages, from infancy to old age, including specific stages such as pregnancy and end-of-life care.
The European Forum of Psychomotricity (EFP) is proud to embark on this new challenge with the European Psychomotricity Journal (EPJ). We aim to provide the scientific and professional community with a valuable tool for the sharing and dissemination of psychomotricity knowledge. We hope that EPJ will become a cornerstone in the field of psychomotricity, fostering collaboration and innovation at an international level.
