[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9282397, member: 7034611"] in that case I would have no objections to it… I cannot speak for others, all I read was the quoted article and that said nothing about having to be a therapist already. Which is where my ‘a $1500 class does not make you a therapist’ came from “A “certified therapeutic game master” from Iowa is suing a Texas company called Geek Therapeutics for libel, slander and copyright infringement over a planned Dungeons & Dragons spinoff. Shawn Thomas and his Ankeny company Tabletop Adventure are suing Geek Therapeutics and its founder, Dr. Anthony Bean, a licensed psychologist, in U.S. District Court for Southern District of Iowa. The lawsuit revolves around Thomas’ development of a role-playing tabletop game called Realms of Kymoria. The lawsuit claims that players of the game inhabit a fictional world that provides an inclusive and welcoming environment for all types of individuals.” only one person here is a doctor and psychologist, and it is not the ‘certified therapeutic game master’. If he were one too and this is just some extra credits, that is fine. If this class is the entirety of his education then that does not make him a therapist as far as I am concerned. I assume others did not dig much deeper either, so I still think the reaction you got was over ‘this does not make you a therapist’ rather than ‘using RPGs in therapy is nonsense’ that you interpreted it as [/QUOTE]
