Kids Making Sense of Life and Death in Israel

In Israel, kids are learning about life and death in a unique way. They are doing this through play at the Lod Theater Center. This place uses a special kind of therapy called psychodrama. Psychodrama is a type of therapy that uses drama and role-playing to help people work through their feelings and experiences. The kids in this study were observed for about a year and a half. During this time, researchers watched how the kids played and interacted with each other. The kids were learning about death and violence not as separate events, but as part of their everyday lives.
