RO D&D (Radically Open Dungeons & Dragons)

The research on Dungeons & Dragons as a behavioral intervention is still in its infancy but it is believed that D&D does a good job at addressing the social isolation that comes with disorders of over-control. It does this by providing structure, social engagement, and the experimentation of new roles and behaviors in a safe environment. Interestingly, fun is also an important, evidence based intervention that is practiced when treating disorders of over control such as OCPD or anorexia nervosa. Our program includes: an individual therapy session, a skills class, and a D&D campaign.
