METHODS OF SOUND AND MOVEMENT AS AN ADJUNCT TO PSYCHODRAMA

Abstract

The Theatre in the Round of the Psychodrama setting provides the group of patients with an aesthetic milieu inviting movement and action. In order to effect any change in a patient's body and in the corresponding psychological overtones by means of exercises and dance, a long period of time is. undoubtedly required and the work must be synchronized with every other type of treatment the patient may be getting. There seems to be, in a psychotic, a general lack of physical will-to-change and often a profound resistance against any attempt to change a body position or behavior pattern.
