Home > Psychodrama
Psychodrama is a method of psychotherapy, which explores through action the problems of the people. It is like theatre. It is a group working method. Each person becomes a therapeutic agent for the other in the psychodrama group. It develops in a place specially arranged, with a scene, some properties objects, colorful lights and a balcony.
In psychodrama, people find out what learning by doing means. The group offers a friendly and stimulating atmosphere that spurs the person on expressing himself/herself by presenting on the stage different dimensions of his/her life. By showing on the stage the problematic situations, psychodrama facilitates a more harmonious equilibrium between the intra-psychical exigencies and the reality exigencies, rediscovering and bringing out the resources of spontaneity and creativity of that person. The person becomes the actor of his/her own life, scenery that is written in vivo. The scene replaces the couch and becomes the space where the inner life is put into action. The individual here meets his/her resources, doubts, wishes, fears and dreams which he explores in a secure environment.
Psychodrama intervenes essentially over relationships, through its specific techniques (double, role reversal, mirror, solilocvium, Sociometry), it produces a restructuring of the dysfunctional ways of “being” with the others, and it challenges the person to discover new answers to some situations and become a spontaneous and independent one.
