Thompson (drama, Manchester U., UK) describes two drama programs that can be used to explore issues of anger management and offending behavior. Blagg! explores the consequences of actions, the victim's perspective, effects on family, and strategies for avoiding trouble in the future. Pump! focuses on triggers, self- awareness, coping strategies, and consequences to help control anger. These programs flexible to accommodate for restrictions imposed by time, space, or numbers and are easily adaptable and appropriate for the needs of a variety of clients, including prisoners, at-risk youth, and individuals with behavioral problems such as aggressiveness.
