Pages 296-309 | Received 15 Jul 2010, Accepted 09 Sep 2010, Published online: 04 Jul 2011
 

Abstract

This article describes the use of Developmental Transformations drama therapy in groups within an acute psychiatric setting, exploring issues specific to group work with child psychiatric inpatients. Case material from a series of sessions is used to explore how group members can use the process for mutual support as well as to increase flexibility and capacity for creative expression. Connections are drawn between Developmental Transformations and social group work theories to illustrate parallels between the two practice methods.
