“…Finally, the increasing popularity of role-playing games (RPG), from tabletop RPGs such as Dungeons and Dragons to video game RPGs and massively multiplayer online RPGs (MMORPGs), holds potential in its integration with psychodramatic techniques within already established gaming communities. The relationship between RPGs and psychodrama elements such as creativity is explored in Corrêa ( 137 ) and may see future work in attempts to integrate elements of RPGs with psychotherapy and psychodrama ( 138 , 139 ).…”

Almost a century after Jacob Levy Moreno pioneered the group practice of psychodrama, research in this area has flourished to include different sub-fields of study and psychodramatic intervention for various psychological conditions. By making use of scientometric analysis, particularly document citation analysis and keyword analysis, this study maps out dominant research domains in psychodrama since its inception. From these findings, projections of future research trends and an evaluation of psychodrama research are discussed. Generally, there has been an increased adoption of technology to facilitate psychodrama practice, along with an increasing integration of psychodramatic principles with other psychotherapies. To improve research in this area, this paper recommends greater transparency in the reporting of materials, processes and data used in publications. Finally, we encourage embracing new technological methods such as neuroimaging to provide greater insight into mechanisms of change in psychodrama. The field of psychodrama remains full of potential and innovations to be developed.

“…Of the five opinion pieces, Ascherman (Ascherman, 1993) highlights the potential negative effects of the use of unstructured TRPGs in hospitalized adolescents. Hawkes-Robinson (Hawkes-Robinson, 2008, 2016) and Franco (Franco, 2016) commented on the benefits of using different forms of RPG for demands in recreational (Hawkes-Robinson, 2016) and narrative therapies (Franco, 2016). Finally, Scudder (Scudder, 2018) reflected on the potential benefits of D&D for anxiety disorders while describing the creation of a gaming campaign (a continuing storyline or set of adventures, typically involving the same characters).…”

Background Role-playing game (RPG) is a term that covers a series of forms and styles of games that involve, in some way, the creation, representation and progression of characters who interact in a fictional world under a system of structured rules. Its applications and effects on human behavior and mental health are, however, still an underexplored area. Methods A scoping review was performed on the literature about RPGs as a therapeutic tool or prevention strategy in psychotherapies and mental health, highlighting studies’ populations, forms of RPG and interventions used. To that, a systematic search in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, BVS/LILACS databases and grey literature was performed. Results Of the 4,069 studies reviewed, 50 sources of evidence were included. The majority was published as of 2011 (78%) in journals (62%) and targeted therapeutic uses of RPGs (84%). Most interventions used computer (50%) or tabletop RPGs (44%), mostly with cognitive and/or behavioral (52%) therapeutical approaches and targeting adolescents (70%). Conclusion The findings suggest a potential use of RPGs as a complementary tool in psychotherapies. However, only 16% of the studies included were experimental. We identified considerable heterogeneity in RPGs definitions, outcomes and interventions used, preventing a systematic review. Thus, more empirical and well-designed studies on the application of RPGs in mental health are needed.
