THE SPECTROGRAM IN PSYCHODRAMA
Keywords:
PSYCHODRAMAAbstract
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the use of a technique, called the spectrogram, in the psychodramatic approach to group therapy. The spectrogram is both diagnostic and therapeutic. It clarifies issues, makes abstract issues concrete, and forces the participation and commitment of usually nonverbal members. It is particularly useful as one method of warming up a psychodrama group.
