PSYCHODRAMAAbstract
The purpose of this report is the description of Psychodrama as it is used by psychiatric case workers in a state hospital setting. Experience at Pontiac State Hospital indicates that a knowledge of patient reaction to roles and techniques is essential for the psychodrama tic director, and that until he has developed such knowledge treatment can be hampered needlessly. It further indicates the importance of group structure and that a definite relationship exists between the make-up of the group and the therapeutic results. With these factors in mind sessions are described and an assessment made regarding the best use of roles and techniques and the type of group most likely to produce maximum therapeutic results. Psychodramatic techniques are defined, and the nature of the group and the effect of the group on the individual will be discussed
