Strategies for Directing Psychodrama With the Adolescent

Abstract

In this article, the author describes specific strategies that have been successful when psychodramatic techniques have been used with adolescent groups. The typical group member has had a history of alcohol and drug abuse. Conclusions presented come from more than 16 years of weekly group-counseling sessions. Psychodrama has been found to be uniquely suited to the adolescent who is dealing with the problems mentioned here and other issues.
