Theoretical Orientation is Your Superpower

Effectively using Geek and Gaming culture in your work starts with relying on your theoretical orientation to conceptualize each case. Then, building on that with your geeky modality of choice.

Dr. Janina Scarlet and Josué Cardona explain why using your theoretical orientation to conceptualize every case is so important, how it helps when it feels like you're no longer making progress, and how Superhero Therapy and Geek Therapy were built on the theories of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), respectively.

Learning Objectives

1. Brief introductions to ACT and REBT theories.
2. Understand the role of traditional theoretical orientation in geeky interventions.
3. How to conceptualize cases using Superhero Therapy and Geek Therapy models.
