心理剧 Psychodrama | Che Wellbeing

What is Psychodrama？

Jacob L. Moreno, a psychiatrist and psychological counselling expert, was an Austrian and Romanian Jewish immigrant who arrived in the United States at the age of 35. While observing children playing games, he realized that traditional psychotherapy lacked elements such as role-playing and the playful nature of games. Drawing inspiration from stage theatre, Moreno founded 'psychodrama' 100 years ago.
