Gamification of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Homework: Therapist Concept Mapping Approach
Overview
This study explores using gamification to improve adherence to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy homework by identifying barriers and potential solutions through a concept mapping session with seven therapists. The participants identified external factors and lack of motivation as primary obstacles, while highlighting facilitation and rewards as key game design elements for addressing these issues. The resource outlines the methodological approach and findings regarding therapist perceptions but notes limitations due to the small sample size and the need for further research on specific game element effects.
