“…Further, missing from the current knowledge is how applied theater could work as a tool for rehabilitation and behavior change with perpetrators of IPV. There is some wider, preliminary evidence that indicates positive outcomes for applied theater interventions working with violent criminals in prisons (Cogan & Paulson, 1998; Heard et al, 2013). Future research should investigate these outcomes, specifically within the context of tertiary IPV prevention.…”

There is an immediate need to advance knowledge around the effective prevention of intimate partner violence (IPV), which is responsible for significant negative health and well-being outcomes for women around the world. Creative approaches are being explored internationally-this systematic review provides a timely synthesis of applied theater interventions addressing primary, secondary, and tertiary IPV prevention. Six hundred and ten articles were identified through a comprehensive search of five cross-disciplinary databases. Eleven studies discussed in 15 quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed articles and one book chapter met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. Articles were appraised using a standardized quality assessment tool and were analyzed within the context of IPV prevention. Of the reviewed studies, five were classified as primary prevention, four secondary, and two focused on tertiary prevention. Specific strategies used by each of the studies included healthy relationship training, rising awareness and community advocacy, service provider training, bystander training, and working with survivors. While the paucity and quality of current literature make it difficult to determine overall efficacy, this review points to the potential of applied theater as a useful prevention strategy, particularly when interactive, participatory methods are incorporated. Further, applied theater could be an effective tool for working in culturally diverse settings as well as with minority groups. Future applied theater program planning needs to include comprehensive evaluation. More rigorous investigation, involving mixed-method research approaches, is required to fully understand the potential of applied theater as a tool in the context of IPV prevention.

“…'affective empathy' to get by. There are numerous accounts of the ubiquity of the prison mask (Cogan & Paulson 1998), and whilst it is true that some criminologists dispute whether or not this mask metaphor is always appropriate (Cheliotis 2012), we feel it is worth consideration here given that it often describes a chronic emotional flatness that debilitates inmates' social interactions and intimate relationships. This inability to connect with others makes rehabilitation even harder than it already is.…”

“…18. For a review of literature on cognitive development through drama and a summary of research ndings on the impact of prison drama programs on the psychological, social, and institutional behavior of participants, see Cogan and Paulson (1998) and Landy (1994). For a description of the programs offered by Theatre in Prison and Parole (TIPP), James Thompson's book, Prison Theatre: Perspectives and Practices (1998) provides information on the latest work in England using drama in corrections.…”

“…27. Cogan and Paulson (1998) conducted a study of a family violence project that examines the perspectives of the participants through a thematic analysis of material collected during interviews with the participants. Based on the principle that the use of drama techniques with criminal offenders facilitates cognitive restructuring, Bergman and Hewish (1996) examined how removing social masks and exploring the roles of family life, work, and basic survival helps to break the cycle of hurting by instilling a sense of obligation and social responsibility.…”
