DEATH AND PSYCHODRAMA
Keywords:
DEATH, PSYCHODRAMAAbstract
Psychodrama methods serve to increase man's ability to live his life in a richer and more intensive way. They are intended to enhance spontaneity and the possibilities thus entailed, as well as exploit each human encounter towards the growth of the self. Many experiences and examples describe in literature the degree to which the psychodramatic methods are helpful in reaching these
goals. A wide range of cases have shown how psychodrama has contributed to free men from their past dramatic experiences and helped them to live the present in a new, fresh way.
