The goal is to design, structure, propose and implement psychoeducational projects through the game of chess and chess-related context. So this is not a book devoted exclusively to chessplayers, because here we are not focusing on teaching chess itself, because we are not so much interested in chess didactics and in chess theory, rather than in metacognitive, cognitive, affective, relational and social aspects associated with chess game situations, which can be promoted not only while playing at a table, but also through interdisciplinary, problem solving and decision making processes, narrative and psychomotion and socialization acts in groups on giant chessboards. Therefore this handbook is meant as an intrument of action-research for teachers, educators, psychologists, psychomotor therapists, psychiatrists, child psychiatrist, trainers and practitioners of psychology with the aim to educate and reeducate promoting healthy growth and preventing mental and social problems while focusing on innovative proposals in the fields of psychology, pedagogy and educational science through game and sport. The handbook's value, unprecedented in the world in terms of organization, completeness and scientific contents, has been acknowledged and certified by 15 prestigious national and international scientific and sporting authorities. The book is divided into 2 sections: the first section covers Theoretical/scientific foundations and consists of 9 chapters, while the second section deals with Projects, experiences and research and is made up of 17 chapters.
