The techniques learned in psychodrama training can be used for action interventions in groups and in individual therapy with adults, adolescents and children. As clients move from “talking about” into action, opportunities arise to heal the past, clarify the present and imagine the future. Training is highly experiential and there is a strong focus on group process and on working with the body. STUDENTS LEARN THE METHOD THROUGH PARTICIPATING IN THEIR OWN AND OTHER GROUP MEMBERS’ PSYCHODRAMAS.
