ESTABLISHING A PSYCHODRAMA PROGRAM

Abstract

Since many new psychodrama units are being established it would appear useful to give a general outline for their organization. This information is taken from successful programs now in operation. The minimum personnel requirements for setting up a program are a psychodramatist and a Psychodrama Assistant. The Psychodramatist should have a thorough background in personality and Psychotherapeutic theory with at least one year training at an accredited center for Psychodrama. The Psychodrama assistant need not be trained in Psychodrama but should be familiar with personality theory and have a flexibility which would not be inconsistent with participation in Psychodrama.
