I'd LOL if the therapists got hooked too "cool, this game is SO fun!"

[Priam]

Hmm.

/ignore therapist? An join another raid.

[Rainigul]

I sense a fail with this idea.

One of the worst ideas I've seen to get free game time.

The issue of game addiction itself is still quite thorny. The American Medical Association still doesn't consider game addiction to be a legitimate disorder, while other reports -- including a Swedish study claiming that Warcraft is "more addictive than crack cocaine" -- say otherwise.

O shi -
I lol'd.

[Nyx]

I honestly thought that said The Rapists.

I feel mature.

I know a psychologist that started playing WoW because the people he was talking with had talked frequently about it. He isn't really hooked, but he does play it still. xP

I would like to point out the real reason why the therapists are doing this...

Graham hopes to launch the project "by the end of the year," and has called on Warcraft maker Blizzard to possibly give therapists free access to the game.
