ABSTRACT This article discusses online gaming in the twenty-first century, describes online gaming, considers negative and positive aspects of gaming, and proposes several possible research, practice, and educational strategies for subsequent development of this genre into a useful tool for human service interventions. Positive characteristics of online gaming environments such as high levels of social interaction and the potential for transformative experiences strongly suggest that many clients will be utilizing such environments. In addition, practitioners must not only learn to assess client use of gaming but also develop the necessary knowledge and skills to utilize online games as therapeutic tools.
