ABSTRACT

Everybody who has ever participated in a psychodrama is both fascinated and stunned by the impact of spontaneous play. This form of theatre starts out on an empty stage with no script, no professional actors and no rehearsals. There is only the protagonist with his or her story which through the unique psychodramatic techniques expands into a full play, be it tragedy, satire, or comedy. The psychodrama has a strong psychological impact on the protagonist, the co-actors, and the group present.
