THE SELF DISCLOSURE ASPECT OF THE PSYCHODRAMA SHARING SESSION
Keywords:
PSYCHODRAMA SHARING SESSIONAbstract
Self disclosure has become an increasingly important area of empirical investigation in the behavioral sciences and area of exploration in the human potential movement. It is seen now as a variable which "mediates" a vast number of other seemingly unrelated variables such as communication accuracy, interpersonal perception, group cohesiveness, self concept, and confirmation. Inaocessible for description and experimentation until recently, self disclosure is now available to researchers and methodologists for development. A minimal accumulation of theory exists regarding self disclosure, but considerable data is being gathered currently, and it is anticipated that substantive research will aid in the formulation of theory
