[QUOTE="rpgresearch, post: 6185298, member: 6691105"] As per Bodhana_Jack's additional comments on this topic (on [URL="http://rpg.net"]rpg.net[/URL]): "Just to clarify for the discussion, this is an approach that we are advocating and developing. It is not a full fledged method at this point, and our goal is to seek groups to help run trials and gain more research to help develop it into a treatment adjunct and a therapeutic approach. I wanted to clarify so that people were not under a misunderstanding. I do not want to misrepresent even by accident where we are in our process. The experience i referred to were groups we ran in a youth facility that yielded positive benefit in the form of social skills, some emotional management, problem solving skills, and esteem. And we are not just limiting the use of role playing games to persons who have been abused or even just people who have abused others. This focal group is where the approach started initially due to that being our focus group. The applications of therapeutic role playing are very far reaching and we want to help take the research and the therapy and try to make it functional and operational. A tool that people can use for lay and professional, gamer and noobs. " To add, we are not stating that this would be a therapeutic approach to act as a stand alone modality given the individual and their circumstance.
