A Survey of Psychodramatic Action and Closure Techniques
Keywords:
TechniquesAbstract
Estimates of the number of psychodramatic techniques range between 200 (Haskell, 1975) and 300 (Z. Moreno, 1966; Greenberg, 1974). This article brings together published psychodramatic techniques that are designed to stimulate protagonists during the action (self-disclosure) phase of a psychodrama. Also included are the closure techniques to shut-down the action and allow protagonist(s) and group members to enter the sharing phase of the psychodramatic process. Because of space limitations, only brief illustrations of each technique are offered, followed by specific references for a more comprehensive description of the technique.
