Introduction to Psychodrama

Catalog description

This course is designed to explore the bridge between personal narratives, creativity, and the power of community. In this course students will gain an understanding of the principles and techniques of psychodrama, sociometry, and group psychotherapy. Conceived and developed by Jacob L. Moreno, psychodrama employs guided dramatic action to examine problems or issues raised by an individual or a group. Using experiential methods, sociometry, role theory, and group dynamics, psychodrama facilitates insight, personal growth, and integration on cognitive, affective, and behavioral levels. It clarifies issues, increases physical and emotional well being and enhances learning and develops new skills.
