Abstract

The psychodrama director can bring to the stage a variety of conceptual frameworks to help him deal with and understand the dynamics of the protagonist. The director might employ sociometric theory, psychoanalytic theory, Sullivan theory, gestalt or Reichian analysis. The experienced and spontaneous director may wish to select those theories which he deems appropriate within the psychodramatic context.
