A VICARIOUS PSYCHODRAMATIC TECHNIQUE FOR MODIFYING CHILDREN'S BEHAVIOR IN THE CLASSROOM

Abstract

Recently the author introduced the technique of "Behavioristic Reviewing"", an approach for dealing with aggressive behavior in children (1972). The approach combined the technique of behavioristic psychodrama in which the teacher involved a child in play acting a prescribed behavior which is considered inappropriate and the technique of self-monitoring behavior which emphasizes self control by having the child set up conditions in his environment to bring about specific behaviors in· himself.
