✦ Synopsis

A simplified form of psychodrama has been sought in which few if any of the therapeutic gains achieved by Moreno, originator of psychodrama, have been sacrificed. Moreno's elaborate method requires considerable space, equipment and personnel which makes it a "luxury therapy" few hospitals can afford. We have sought to develop a method less elaborate and costly, yet retaining the dynamic values of traditional psychodrama. A description of such a simplified form is herewith presented.
