The following published resources have been essential to my development as a proponent of game therapy.
This is not an exhaustive list of everything that exists in this field – this is the list of materials I have, figuratively, devoured.
As such, I will be adding to it especially in regard to You Tube (you tube fu) learning, and in particular the seminars that the TAGG (Therapeutic and Applied Geek and Gaming) Summit releases.
It is important to note that two American psychologists, one a play therapist, were using the term Geek Therapy to describe the models that they work under. This matter ended up in court and Anthony Bean Phd is no longer allowed to use this term (although you will see it is in some of his earlier book and media titles). Josue Cardona, the play therapist, continues to use and develop geek therapy as a psychological model. Anthony M. Bean Phd’s books, media and training courses are now known as Geek Therapeutics.
