About Psychodrama
What is Psychodrama
Psychodrama is the name given by J.L. Moreno to the method he developed for helping people
become more creative in day to day living. It has applications in many different areas in
which people are learning, changing and relating to others, in training, education, healing,
spiritual life, business, performing arts and in organisations. Practitioners of this powerful
method integrate all levels of a human being: their thinking, their intellect, their imagination,
their feelings and their actions in their social context. In this way,
learning is able to be applied directly in actual living situations at work,
outside the home, in other organizations and in close relationships.

Training in Psychodrama
Training in the psychodrama method and/or group work will assist those in leadership roles to
develop their abilities. They will be enlivened and challenged to expand their creative edge and
professional competency. Through a greater awareness of their own behaviour and the development of
leadership roles, a network of satisfying relationships will be developed and sustained.
Psychodrama is primarily a group method. Developing an appreciation of group dynamics is
therefore fundamental in psychodrama training. Specifically trainees learn to recognise and
value the sociometry which occurs in groups and work with this both as group member and leader.
