PSYCHODRAMA AS A TOOL FOR GROUP DIAGNOSIS

Abstract

In our country today there is an enormous waste of human energy, resources, and talent. Great numbers of our people, the vast majority of whom have been born into poverty, do not fulfill their potential in ways useful to themselves and to society. . . . Our public schools, as mirrors of our society, have played a significant role in creating the conditions that have led to the waste of talent and ability and to the subsequent loss of dignity and self-worth on the part of millions of our citizens. It is about the above educability gap that I direct the following article. Recently, I had the opportunity to give a demonstration session of psycho drama for a group of seventy college-age youth at a national leadership training institute in Northern England. The training institute not only mirrored aspects of English society but was a great hallway of reflectors in that it purported to teach leaders how to lead and how to teach other leaders and so on.
