Psychodrama is a method of psychotherapy in which clients are encouraged to continue and complete their actions through dramatization, role playing and dramatic self-presentation. Both verbal and non-verbal communications are utilized. It is mostly used as a group work method, in which each person in the group acts as a therapeutic agent for each other in the group.
