Abstract

This case reports presents an evaluative description of experiences in a psychodrama course from the perspective of undergraduates. Student reports indicated positive changes in individual expectations regarding the modality, significant educational and personal benefits from the course, types of themes that emerged during the course, student reactions to emergent themes, and benefits of active experiential components of the course. Especially notable among the experiential components was the benefit of student responsibility in course direction. These reports support previous literature that indicated the viability of psychodrama as an undergraduate learning experience.
