List of Hypothetical Benefits of RPG for Different Therapeutic Interventions
Still going to be a while before can test these hypotheses, but here are some ideas about potential benefits and uses of different RPG formats for different population needs. If you have ideas, corrections, suggestions, additions, please do comment to help add to the list for future potential testing inclusion.
Two approaches, either from RPG type, and then list the therapeutic needs that might be addressed, or can list the specific therapeutic need, and then list the RPG type, and the aspects of that type that could address that need in various ways.
Will start out trying with the latter and see how that unfolds. Your feedback very much appreciated.
