About this listen

A comprehensive book explaining "applied RPGs"—using role-playing games therapeutically.

Across the globe, therapists are using tabletop roleplaying games (RPG) such as Dungeons & Dragons as a part of their practice. This book provides an overview of what RPGs are and what makes them such an effective and powerful tool for therapy. By examining research on gaming, flow, immersion, and role-play, listeners will gain a better understanding of the theoretical underpinnings and how to skillfully and ethically use RPGs in their own practices. The author also looks at the history of RPGs, specifically focusing on issues of diversity and representation to help providers understand some possible pitfalls that exist within the medium. The book utilizes an example group to walk through everything from conception, planning, running, documentation, and termination of the group.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A terrific intro to Therapeutic RPGs

As a therapist, I’m always looking for new ways to engage clients. Using RPGs is a great way to help a variety of clients facing a variety of struggles, and this book is a great introduction on how to do that. It’s a quick read, and while it is not an exhaustive “how to” book, there is more than enough practical information here to get you started. The book does assume that you already know something about RPGs; if not, you might have a slightly steeper learning curve as you read it. While there are many studies cited, the prose is not bogged down with overly scholarly language. I would definitely recommend this book to other therapists who want to expand their practice with RPGs.
