PSYCHOTHERAPYAbstract
The value of dramatics as a therapeutic agent has been the subject of increasing exploration. Over the past fifteen years, Moreno (2, 3) and others have established psychodrama and/or role-playing as a valuable technique in itself as well as in therapy groups. More recently, Brigante and Kinne (1) have experimented with the use of films as a stimulus for a newly formed therapy group. They reported that the outcome depended on how the use of the films was structured, the attitude of the patients toward such a procedure, and the development of a suitable relationship between the patients and the group therapists.
