Pieces of the Past: A Novel Therapeutic Game for Young Adults

With an increasing number of mental illnesses appearing in young adults, psychologists must find new ways to address this crisis. Play therapy is a form of therapy that is typically used effectively on the adolescent population. Given its success with children, it is reasonable to consider play therapy for other age groups. Pieces of the Past is a game based on play therapy theory and designed with a young adult audience in mind. This game was created in hopes of becoming a tool for play therapists to use on young adult populations.
