THE DYNAMICS OF GROUP AND ACTION PROCESSES IN THERAPY

Abstract

One of the primary problems facing any therapist is the establishment of channels of communication. In group psychodrama this is done through the warm-up. This is a process by which the group focuses. By the merging of varied interests, it centers on a problem area with which it is willing to be concerned during a particular session. There is an exclusion of peripheral concerns, and a crystalization of the more basic areas with which the group will deal
