A presentation put together by Dr. James D. Persinger, PhD., of Emporia Statue University in 2003 provides a summary of the history of Role-Playing in therapy, as well as some basic history of RPGs, and numerous tips in implementing RPG-based therapy in a scholastic setting.
While looking for some new/uncovered material to add to the site, I ran across this presentation summary by Dr. Persinger at Emporia State University (located in Emporia, Kansas), which I thought provided some handy insight into RPG therapy from an administrator's point of view. It includes 14 tips on how best to utilize a table-top RPG for assessment and therapy purposes and cites numerous studies of the effects of role-play use in therapy.
There's a numbering issue with the tips: #6 is actually #5, and the first #7 is actually #6. That aside, I found it a fascinating read. Give it a look yourself!
