PSYCHODRAMA WITH A CHANGING GROUP IN A U. S. NAVY HOSPITAL

Abstract

The author, as a volunteer director, has conducted psychodrama for three hour periods, once a week, on the locked neuropsychiatric ward of an installation of the U. S. Navy.
The hospital does not have a psychodrama stage so the patients and I met in their recreation lounge, the middle area of their ward. The ward is an old WWII temporary building. Everything about the ward and the building is bleak.
