REHABILITATION CLIENTS

Abstract

After using role-playing and psychodrama with urban, disadvantaged youth, the author, as rehabilitation counselor, has used similar processes with rehabilitation clients who are also suspicious of bureaucracy, are not committed to regular or long attendance, have histories of self-defeating behavior and see no reason for changing past roles. Without the aid of co-directors, experienced doubles, staging areas, pre-planning, it would seem reasonable with those who deal with this population to expect "expression, feedback and information, instruction and practice. "
