The Use of Psychodrama in the Hospital Setting
Abstract
Psychodrama is often used as an adjunct treatment for hospitalized patients. In this paper, we review our experience in using psychodrama on a hospital inpatient service. Positive aspects of the modality as well as potential difficulties and antitherapeutic effects are discussed. In addition, some questions are raised regarding psychodrama as an insight-oriented therapy aimed at promoting growth in some patients.
