Additionally, life-like dolls sometimes play a larger role in potential therapeutic settings. Psychologists and therapists may utilize these dolls in sessions with patients who are grieving or dealing with issues related to infertility. The dolls can serve as a non-threatening medium through which feelings can be expressed, facilitating discussions about loss, acceptance, and the longing for connection. This professional endorsement can help to normalize the use of these dolls in a therapeutic context, further validating their place in family dynamics.
