Abstract

Today as we all know, psychodrama sessions are being conducted by teachers, ministers, vocational counsellors, personnel officers, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers and by parents within the home circle. This dramatic and imaginative technique is snowballing in popularity and has, so to speak, become a part of our very culture. Put yourself in the other fellow's shoes-that is a psychodramatic technique which works in all walks of life. Today I am going to talk with you about the development of such a program in a state hospital setting with patients who are acutely ill mentally. In such a setting the underlying aim is twofold-educational and therapeutic. The difficulties involved in the development of such a program are many but the results are such as to warrant coping with them, and if a firm foundation is constructed, some of the problems can be overcome.
