Abstract

Mental health organizations are increasingly adapting tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) into psychotherapy groups. Existing literature on therapeutic modalities with similar methods and theories of change suggest TTRPGs holds great promise in creating positive change for certain mental health populations, particularly those that have not responded well to traditional psychotherapy formats. At this time, no published, peer-reviewed research has examined TTRPG therapy groups offered to adults. Here we describe the application of one 8-week TTRPG therapy group with seven adults at a forensic facility. In this case study, we also describe the data we gathered and our findings regarding the feasibility, acceptability, and potential benefits of participating in this TTRPG. Our findings provide preliminary support of the feasibility and acceptability of this approach, and offer new directions on how to maximize benefits to group members. Limitations and future directions are discussed.

桌面角色扮演治疗组难以参与患者的非受控案例研究
摘要心理健康组织越来越多地将桌面角色扮演游戏(TTRPG)纳入心理治疗小组。现有的关于具有类似方法和变化理论的治疗模式的文献表明,TTRPG在为某些心理健康人群创造积极变化方面有很大的前景,尤其是那些对传统心理治疗模式反应不佳的人群。目前,还没有发表的同行评审研究对成人TTRPG治疗组进行检查。在这里,我们描述了一个为期8周的TTRPG治疗组在法医机构的应用,该治疗组有7名成年人。在本案例研究中,我们还描述了我们收集的数据以及我们关于参与该TTRPG的可行性、可接受性和潜在利益的发现。我们的研究结果为这种方法的可行性和可接受性提供了初步支持,并为如何最大限度地为团队成员带来利益提供了新的指导。讨论了局限性和未来的发展方向。
