Editorial: when a corpse is not dead?
Article Abstract:
Group therapy with criminal offenders using Yalom's technique of reframing can sometimes get criminals to acknowledge and start coming to terms with their guilt. Asking when a corpse is not dead implies that a person's life continues in memory. Acknowledging this can be the start of a breakthrough for the offender.
