PSYCHODRAMATIC

Abstract

The psychodramatic therapist, in an institution for juvenile offenders, works with group members who tend to be non-introspective and who usually "act-out" their problem-solutions. Although this "acting-out" frequently leads to the violation of social mores, when properly utilized, it can be turned to therapeutic advantage. The tendency of these boys towards exaggeration in their action while in a group situation sometimes leads naturally to the understanding and resolution of group problems by evoking latent and as yet unexplored identification patterns.
