Psychodrama at Sentencing: (PART TWO)

Psychodrama has been used by trial lawyers for decades. But it hasn't been effectively deployed for use at SENTENCING.... until now.

While psychodrama action therapy requires a trained professional to implement, there good news is there are psychodrama-adjacent techniques that can help any lawyer dig for, develop, and deliver a powerful and persuasive sentencing presentation!

In this episode, Patrick Barone, a 30+ year criminal defense attorney and certified trainer, educator and practitioner of psychodrama introduces us to two such "psychodramatic action techniques" - the social atom and psychodramatic letter-writing.

This is a TWO-PART EPISODE!. The timing of its release was deliberate, as Barone and Passon just co-authored an article for "The Champion", the premiere criminal defense publication of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL). The issue will soon be in NACDL member's mailboxes. For those without a subscription, we will soon make the article available (for free) for download at www.setforsentencing.com/psychosentencing1.
