Psychocinema. A creative psychotherapeutic technique.

Psychocinema is a technique that offers severa options for the rehabilitation of psychotic patients. It allows the patient to dramatize a situation that he cannot express verbally. It helps him to approach reality, to mend his greatly damaged way of communication by guiding him towards creation. These changes are achieved by the group while acting as an 'agent of change' that really 'changes'. Psychocinema intends to introduce new ways of communication in the rehabilitation of the 'mentally ill'. Art, science and work are combined to understand the human being and to help him preserve his own identity and equilibrium within the pressures of discordant communications in the social environment.

A comparative test of the developmental, role-playing, and defensive explanations of offspring identification.

Following Mussen and Distler (1959) and Bandura, Ross and Ross (1963), the developmental, defensive, and role-playing theories of identification are tested on high school seniors. Previous tests have supported the developmental and role-playing hypotheses about equally, while the defensive hypothesis lacks consistent empirical support. Questions are raised, however, about the merit of these tests. Data are presented on seniors in an Eastern suburban school and a Midwestern small town school which support the developmental (warmth) hypothesis but which are inconsistent with the defensive and role-playing hypotheses. Parental behavior is measured by the Bronfenbrenner Parent Behavior Questionnaire and identification is measured by the semantic differential.

The family-oriented clinical simulation: an interdisciplinary tool for professional growth.

An interdisciplinary, educational technique--the family-oriented clinical simulation--is described and compared and contrasted to other commonly used role-playing techniques. Implications for training and supervision of physical therapists and other health care professionals are discussed, including the technique's relevance as a vehicle for studying in an applied clinical context the interface of physical disease and its psychosocial manifestations. The article concludes with a description of the benefits and potential disadvantages of the technique.

Grief counseling.

Patients grieve the loss of loved ones, jobs, marriages, or even functioning. They seek comfort, understanding, respect, and especially hope. The "work of grief" progresses through stages. Mixed with the sadness can be feelings of anger, fear, and guilt. Psychotherapy can relieve self-destructive anger and guilt, advance the recovery phase, and stimulate psychological strength and personality growth.

Drama: a medium to enhance social interaction between students with and without mental retardation.

Twenty-four fifth grade (or equivalent age) students were assigned to one of two treatment conditions consisting of equal numbers of students from regular and special education classes. One group was involved in a dramatic games condition culminating in a theatrical performance planned by the group. The second group was involved in a noncompetitive games condition culminating in a demonstration of games developed by the group. Observational data recording initiations and receptions of prosocial bids were collected for all subjects receiving special education services within both groups. A sociometric measure was used to assess the perceived quality of friendships both before and after the interventions. Results showed that students with mental retardation in the drama condition were targeted for positive social interactions by peers without mental retardation significantly more and were more highly regarded as friends than were those in the games condition.
