Join us as we discuss the potentially therapeutic function of video game discussion in counseling.  A brief walk-through and demonstration of a Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game (MMORPG) will take place, along with discussion about the ways in which these gaming experiences can be used as symbols and probes to prompt therapeutic dialogue and promote change.
