Psychodrama: Working Through Action: ‘My Thank You is for Your Concern’

Abstract

The debate on what can be effectively done to reduce crime, protect members of the public and lower recidivist rates continues in many quarters. As a result there are now several behaviour programmes delivered by the Home Office. In this article I intend to discuss psychodrama as a treatment approach that has been used for the past 20 years at H.M.P. Grendon Underwood and how its application can change the disruptive internal worlds of those who offend.
