Abstract

A recent thrust in therapy is encouraging clients to become more consciously aware of their behavior, thoughts and feeling. This case study incorporates psychodrama techniques with the theoretical Johari awareness model in order to develop such awareness within a group of chemically dependent adolescents. The significance of integrating theory and techniques is demonstrated through increased cohesion, risk taking and intimacy within the group. Therapist characteristics, results of the case study and generalizability of this technique are discussed.
