EXPERIENCES RESULTING FROM CLINICAL USE OF PSYCHODRAMA WITH CHILDREN

Abstract

This is to summarize experiences of several years of practical work at the Child Department of the Psychiatric Clinic in Prague. Various forms of utilizing psychodrama have been examined with the conclusion that in a group of children it inevitably takes on a slightly different form than in adults. Though analogies must be sought for in previous experiences with adults (Moreno et al.) work will have to be oriented in the main toward search for specific forms adequate to the child's age.
