Abstract

This presentation is intended to suggest an additional technique for learning and teaching psychotherapy and counseling skills. Especially the experiential parts of therapy skill are promoted by adapting psychodrama to sound principles of psychotherapy training. Unique qualities of psychodrama can complement other techniques, providing an important addition to the supervision repetoire.
