Abstract

During the past year and a half we here at the Florence Crittenton Maternity Home have been experimenting with both role playing and psychodrama with the unmarried mothers. We have been doing these experiments from two points of view: (1) in order to help these girls gain some insight into their own problems and to help them work out a better method of approaching their family and friends after their experience here; (2) we have been attempting to try to evolve some techniques which would be pertinent to the peculiar problems of this homogeneous and structured environment. These experiments were inaugurated and for a year conducted by Dr. Rosemary Lippitt.
