What is Game Therapy?
Game therapy is similar to Drama Therapy in that players can act out scenarios in a safe, controlled, psychologically informed environment to facilitate creativity, imagination, learning, insight, and growth.
However, it differs from traditional Drama Therapy in that it uses collaborative Role Playing Games(RPGs), such as 'Dungeons & Dragons’ type games or video games, to intentionally achieve these therapeutic goals.
And you get to play a game. So it's fun.
