Therapeutically Applied Role-Playing Games

This training manual presents a framework for mental health professionals implementing therapeutically applied tabletop role-playing game groups. It outlines the Game to Grow Method, developed through practice with Dungeons & Dragons and other role-playing systems, and connects gaming activities with therapeutic approaches including acceptance and commitment therapy, marriage and family therapy, drama therapy, and interpersonal process groups. The material explains how role-playing games can be layered onto established interventions to support insight, growth, and change across diagnoses and therapeutic orientations.
