The Effects of Psychodrama on Inmates Within a Structured Residential Behavior Modification Program

ProgramAbstract
The purpose of this post hoc study was to explore the effects of psychodrama group therapy on inmates suffering from adjustment problems in a correctional setting. The 22 inmate participants were active within a structured residential behavior modification program. I concluded that participation in the psychodrama group enabled inmates to reduce their unacceptable behaviors more effectively and to make a more positive adjustment to prison life than either inmates ( = 22) participating in the structured residential program or a nonequivalent control group of inmates (n = 22) living in the general prison population and not receiving mental health treatment.
