One in five children with emotional disorders is in therapy. A new video game is changing the paradigm

In a recent interview, Professor Oana David, PhD, Director of the Babeș-Bolyai University PsyTech Clinic and coordinator of the DATA Lab, spoke about REThink Life Game, a therapeutic video game.

REThink Life Game is not just a game, but a scientifically validated tool that translates cognitive-behavioral techniques into interactive experiences, with the goal of developing essential emotional skills. “It’s like a therapy session, but delivered in a different way—more natural for children—through play. The tasks are engaging, and progress in the game reflects real improvements in users’ emotional well-being,” professor Oana David explained in the interview.
