Psychodrama: Psycho = mind, drama = action
It’s a treatment method developed by the psychiatrist Yaakov Moreno in the early 20th century.
Psychodrama uses role-playing and dramatic techniques to foster a greater understanding of one’s inner world and relationships.
The goal of psychodrama is, first and foremost, to connect participants with their inherent creativity and spontaneity. This connection is the key to unlocking a beautiful process of learning, exploring emotions, thoughts, and relationships, and experiencing new responses to familiar situations.
Psychodrama involves bringing our inner world and relationships into action rather than focusing on difficulties and dilemmas like classical psychotherapy.
We recreate real-life scenarios (whether lived or imagined), embodying and confronting our feelings and thoughts. Through action, we overcome barriers and experiment with alternative options.
Who is psychodrama for?
- Anyone interested in personal development can benefit from psychodrama therapy.
- There is no need for prior experience or knowledge because we authentically bring ourselves and our life stories.
- Psychodramatic work aims to expand the self beyond our familiar boundaries, thus enabling change.
