Abstract

Many of the techniques originated by J. L. Moreno1 in his development of psychodrama have found wide application in other related areas of human endeavor. Outstanding have been applications of psychodrama techniques in elementary and higher education, public affairs, vocational counselling, human relations training, and all varieties of psychotherapy. A previous paper outlined some of the ways in which psychodrama techniques have been used in the Alcoholism Rehabilitation Units at Central Islip State Hospital. The purpose of the present paper is to describe the units' experience with the use of group role reversal as a technique in teaching groups of visitors about alcoholism.
