ADJUNCTIVE METHODAbstract
The growing demand for skilled workers in psychodrama has awakened us to the need to structure a comprehensive statement of fundamental rules in the practice of this method, and a brief survey and explanation of the numerous versions of psychodramatic intervention. Other surveys of methods have described some of these, but a number of basic rules to serve as guidelines for the practitioner are vital.
