PSYCHODRAMA AND EDUCATION

Abstract

"In the beginning was the Word. ..." Many educators proceed as though this was their fundamental and exclusive text. The methods and materials of our schools and colleges reflect it and words are taking a ., larger prominence in our non-academic life With the expansion of the press and the radio. Verbal communication is an enormously important tool. Its very effectiveness, however, leads to an exclusive dependence upon it and we too often fail to recognize the losses accompanying it when the relation between the symbol and the referrant becomes more and more vague. Much of our verbal communication today is wasteful but we continue it largely because of the facility we have acquired in using it. This applies both to professors and advertisers
