Psychodrama, as conceived and developed by its creator, J. L. Moreno, M.D. (1889-1974), is a method which utilizes guided dramatic action to examine problems or issues raised in a group, or in individual counselling. In a classically structured psychodrama session, there are three distinct phases of group interaction - the warm up, the enactment, and the sharing. The director, a trained psychodramatist, has the responsibility for guiding the participants through each stage. The director uses psychodramatic techniques to elicit maximal participation, understanding and support.
