Abstract

During one week end six adolescent boys who are in residence at Charila III in Stockton, California, went back to using drugs. As a result of this, they were sent to the regular on-going Monday evening Psychodrama session. "The subjects being approached in the midst of an actual life situation and not before or after it. The situation was caught in statu nascendi and the subjects warmed up to it."1 The Psychodrama group consisted of twelve adolescents of both sexes who have participated in Psychodrama for about six months; some of them have also been in training as Psychodrama leaders with each other as protagonist. On the whole they are serious, aware, and in touch with their feelings. They accepted the six boys into their group and agreed to try to handle the problems.
