Abstract

Psychodrama is a useful and effective method in the treatment and rehabilitation of alcoholics. Used in conjunction with other therapies such as didactic and analytic group psychotherapy, drug therapy, Alcoholics Anonymous, socialization and vocational rehabilitation, psychodrama provides a flexible treatment tool. Weiner1•2 has written extensively about the use of psychodrama in alcoholism treatment. She refers to its use in both in-patient and out-patient settings. Cabrera5 describes psychodrama in a state hospital alcoholism program.
