The Adams and I have been in rapport for some years, they have been
using my research and program plans as templates to supplement their own
therapeutic backgrounds.

For some time they have been asking me to come and observe their
program, and 2 weeks ago I was able to make it over there and observe
(and participate) in two of their groups.

They are off to a good start, but have a lot hurdles still to overcome.
Especially documentation, assessment, billable, session length,
facility issues, and trying to bring in help.

After he sessions, we spoke for a few hours, and I gave them feedback
on the 4 pages of notes I wrote about their sessions, and a range of
suggestions that could help them.

It is great they are getting such great press due to their connections
in the Seattle area.

I am currently working on some essays on this topic, including their
program, and will let you know when those are available.
Happy Gaming!

OVERVIEW & MISSION:
Beginning in 1985, and formalized in 2004, The RPG Research Project is
a global and interdisciplinary community effort to research the effects
of role-playing games (RPGs) in all formats: tabletop (TRPG),
live-action (LARP), computer-based (CRPG), & solo adventures (CYOA).
This open community website was created in 2004 as a central repository
for past, current, and future research. Additional focus includes
studies on the therapeutic and educational aspects of RPGs. The
community is welcomed and encouraged to contribute to this site through
the many resources provided, including document archives, forum
bulletin board, chat rooms, audio & video archives, polls, surveys, and
more.
