THE QUIET GAME THERAPY FOR ADULTS WITH MENTAL ILLNESS

The quiet game is often known as a children's game where children must stay quiet and still. Often it is used as a social discipline. Jonathan Harnisch and his caregiver Clara have turned this phenomenon into a means of behavioral therapy and fun. Jonathan suffers from schizoaffective disorder with autistic features. Following the video footage in this recording, Jonathan continued for 24 hours in silence until Clara gracefully forfeited. The experience was amazingly fun mental health therapy and extremely beneficial.
