Keywords

Addicted clients; Experiential activities; Group process; Group work; Psychodrama

Abstract

Traditional talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral techniques, are often ineffective when working with addicted clients for many reasons. By tapping into the power of the group modality, experiential activities can serve as a powerful facilitator of insight and behavior change. The authors provide a brief review of the literature followed by the presentation of three effective exercises for groups of addicted clients. © 2009 ASGW.
