Role-playing is a behavioral therapy technique that is particularly helpful when a change in perspective is necessary. This method is considered a central element in behavioral therapy. In this process, the client reenacts a problematic situation from their perspective. The portrayal takes place as if on a stage. Following this, targeted questions for self-reflection are posed, such as: "What was similar? And what was completely different?" For example, a quarreling couple can express their differing viewpoints and then examine the scenes from a distance with the therapist. Hans-Dieter Dumpert and Roger Schaller introduce the method and demonstrate its practical application through many entertaining case examples. Short online videos help to reinforce what has been learned.
