Abstract
17 emotionally disturbed children from a special residence
were Ss in the experiment. 10 children in 2 of the
special education classes at the residence comprised the experimental
group. 7 children constituting the control group
were chosen randomly from the remain1ng children at the residence.
There were no significant differences between the 2
groups in age, sex, race, family structure, family status or
I.Q. The experimental group was d1vided into 2 groups and
each met with E an hour a week for ten weeks. Dur1ng this
time they participated in creat1ve dramat1cs sessions. The
control group followed its regular routine. A Behavior Bating
Scale, used to measure overt behavior, was judged by adults at
the residence at the beginning and at the end of the experiment. An observation sheet was was used to check behavior defined
as pes1tive er negative during the classes. An analysis of
data revealed no significant results at p<.01 for e1ther group on the BRS. It was concluded that creative dramatics is not
an effective adjunctive therapy for emotionally disturbed children.
