NOTE ON PSYCHODRAMA OF THE BLIND

Abstract

The question has been raised whether psychodrama of the blind is possible, due to the lack of physical mobility on the part of the blind. Therefore, a technique has to be invented which gives the imagination of the blind, physically and mentally, full rein. The "seeing eye" of a dog is commonly used by the blind for walking in the direction needed to cross streets or to enter doors. In psychodrama, an auxiliary ego should be assigned to every blind person; this auxiliary ego has to hold the blind by the hand and move into space with him as if they would be one. Physical contact is important as a psychological binder.
