Adlerian Conceptualization using Dungeons and Dragons

Adlerian Play Therapy has been cited as the most natural theoretical orientation for therapeutic Dungeons & Dragons. Your presenters will show how, using a tabletop role playing game, a clinician using Adlerian theory can help clients gain insight by living in the metaphor.

Learning Objectives

1. We will analyze and access the typical structure of a prewritten TTRPG adventure (otherwise known as a module) and contrast that to a therapeutically driven TTRPG session.
2. Compare different approaches to suit setting needs and therapeutic goals for each individual client and group.
3. Prepare an outline for an adventure or setting that is mindfully crafted with negative space for the client to exercise a sense of autonomy within the session.
4. Recognizing a player’s high and low Crucial C and tailoring play to intervene and boost.
