i komercijalne. Ozbiljne videoigre razvijene su u svrhu usvajanja novih znanja i vještina te promjene ponašanja, a zabava nije njihova primarna svrha, već dodatna pogodnost. S druge strane, komercijalne videoigre razvijene su isključivo u svrhu zabave i svi smo se barem nekada susreli s njima (npr. Pac-Man, League of Legends). Ovaj pregledni rad nudi kritički osvrt na nekoliko istraživanja koja su se bavila učinkovitošću ozbiljnih i komercijalnih videoigara u psihoterapiji, kao i na jedno istraživanje o stavovima psihoterapeuta o njihovom korištenju. Ozbiljne videoigre koje se spominju u ovom radu uglavnom su namijenjene terapiji različitih poremećaja kod djece i adolescenata te su zasnovane na principima kognitivno bihevioralne terapije, uz izuzetak videoigre Playmancer koja se koristi u terapiji ovisnosti o kockanju kod odraslih te je temeljena na biofeedbacku. Uzimajući u obzir velika novčana ulaganja u komercijalne videoigre, što ih čini tehnološki superiornima u odnosu na ozbiljne videoigre, istraživači su se zapitali koje su potencijalne dobrobiti ovih iznimno popularnih igara izvan okvira zabave u slobodno vrijeme. Opisana su dva kvalitativna istraživanja komercijalnih videoigara u psihoterapiji, od kojih se jedno bavi tretmanom PTSP-a, a drugo je usmjereno na generalnu podršku psihoterapiji djece i proizlazi iz iskustva dječjeg psihodinamskog terapeuta.

Abstract
Video games in this literature review will be divided into serious and commercial video games. Serious video games have been developed to acquire new knowledge and skills, and to change human behaviour, so entertainment is not their primary purpose, but rather an added convenience. On the contrary, commercial video games have been developed exclusively for entertainment purposes and each one of us has encountered them at least once (e.g. Pac-Man, League of Legends). This paper offers a critical review of several research studies in which authors address the effectiveness of serious and commercial video games in psychotherapy, as well as one study about psychotherapists’ attitudes on their use. Serious video games mentioned in this paper are mainly intended for the treatment of various disorders in children and adolescents, and are based on principles of cognitive behavioural therapy, with the exception of the PlayMancer video game used for the treatment of severe gambling disorder in adults, which is based on biofeedback. Taking into consideration the large funds invested into commercial video games and their consequential technological superiority to serious video games, researchers have begun to wonder what benefits these extremely popular games might pertain beyond the framework of leisure. Two qualitative studies of commercial video games in psychotherapy are described, one of which is focused on PTSD treatment, and the other on general support for child psychotherapy, stemming from the experience of a child psychodynamic therapist.
