Educational Role Play - Knowledge Module and Guide for Psychosocial Practice

In this springer essential book, Manfred Günther impressively describes educational role play. He shows how it emerged in the 1970s as a new, guided method. Pedagogical role play developed as a VT-based project that is great fun to use in practice and that can effortlessly transfer desired competencies in a pedagogical sense. This is because, across cultures, play is often about practicing important social skills or also about working through issues or conflicts.

Manfred Günther studied psychology, industrial psychology and public health. He has been a home, school and emergency psychologist, mediator, lecturer and youth counselor, and today works as an author and reviewer.
