Hi Adam,<BR>
<BR>
Thank you so much for your prompt reply to my email.<BR>
<BR>
I am struggling to find information or people to talk to in this field who are based in <BR>
New Zealand. However, I have spoken to a Senior Psychologist within the Community <BR>
Probation and Psychological Services here in Auckland who stated that: "We do not use <BR>
psychodrama in the pure form at the treatment units in New Zealand. It is used in the form <BR>
of role plays (skills training in the Medium Intensity Rehabilitation Programme (MIRP) for <BR>
medium risk men, Kowhiritanga (for women) and at the Child Sex Offender Units for the <BR>
victim empathy module."<BR>
<BR>
This was useful to some extent, but I would sincerely like to be in touch with people who <BR>
do implement some form of Psychodrama here in NZ, even if this is within the most simplist <BR>
of forms such as role-play.<BR>
<BR>
So yes please, if you could forward my email on to anyone whom you believe may be able to <BR>
help me further that would be kindly appreciated.<BR>
<BR>
Thank you so much for your help,<BR>
<BR>
Hope to hear from you soon<BR>
<BR>
Kind regards,<BR>
Sophia Chamberlain<BR>

Dear Sophia, please let me forward this email to people who are working with prisoners.<BR>
May I? I may even find some people in Australia / New Zealand. May I inquire and let you <BR>
network with some leaders in the field there? Have you had any contact with psychodrama <BR>
people in your country? Would you like that?<BR>
<BR>
Sincerely, Adam Blatner<BR>

Subject: Psychodrama program enquiry<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Hi Adam,<BR>
I wonder if you can help me?<BR>
<BR>
I am an undergraduate Psychology student in New Zealand. I currently have an assignment on <BR>
whether psychodrama can effectively reduce recidivism in New Zealand prison and community <BR>
based treatment programs.<BR>
<BR>
I am currently doing some research, coming up with some insightful journal articles but <BR>
want to know even more information. The articles lack any information into what future <BR>
research can be done and whether psychodrama can reduce recidivsm effectively rather than <BR>
the standard CBT. Also, I am interested in knowing whether there is a broader market for <BR>
psychodrama in adult and adolescent offenders, and what level of offending it needs to be <BR>
targeted at.<BR>
<BR>
I have downloaded articles from PsychInfo but majority of these are based on programs <BR>
throughout the US and UK, so my general understanding is that it is used infrequent here <BR>
in NZ.<BR>
<BR>
Any help, advise or info you can provide me with would be greatly appreciated.<BR>
<BR>
Yours sincerely,<BR>
Sophia Chamberlain<BR>
<BR>
