Overview: Implementing Therapeutic Role-playing Games
Unit 3 Overview
In Unit 3, we will discuss considerations when implementing leisure role-playing games for therapeutic purposes. We will explore accounts from therapists about their implementation practices, as well as some effects studies. By effects studies, we mean research where data of all kinds has been collected and analyzed with regard to the effects role-playing might have on players, in this case from a psychological or social mental health perspective. We will consider any differences we might notice between recommendations for leisure and therapeutic implementation. We will also discuss some deroling strategies.
