Abstract

Although Moreno and Toeman (1942), and Yablonsky and Enneis (1956) have pointed out that psychodramatic group therapy and discussional group therapy can be meaningfully combined, some reports describe them as different in techniques and goals, and suggest that they constitute mutually exclusive types of treatment.
