[QUOTE="Gradine, post: 9281629, member: 57112"] Certification is a pretty normal thing within any professional field, psychology included, as is the use of games, role-playing, and also role-playing games. None of what's happening with this particular group is shady or exploitative* (to say nothing of other, err... anti-Semitic synonyms being thrown around) outside of trying to sell somebody else's product without an agreement in place. I would think that even the suing party in this instance is down for what this company basically sets out to do (if he wasn't it seems doubtful he'd have engaged in talks to work with them in the first place). And while it is one thing to have a working professional in the field be critical of this effort, it's definitely another that the field's leading professional organization (in this case, the APA) appears to have to offered their approval, and their clientele seems to be primarily other working professionals in the field. Using this lawsuit as an excuse to attack the company's general design when it doesn't actually warrant it is, if nothing else, completely off-topic from what the lawsuit is actually about. *at least no less exploitative than the professional therapeutic model in the U.S. in general, which is a whole other can of worms not worth embarking on in this thread [/QUOTE]
