Keywords:
Chinese culture, cross-cultural development, psychodrama, TaiwanAbstract
Psychodrama has evolved significantly in Taiwan in the last forty years. At present, the
method is being adapted to the needs of our culture. We are proceeding with research on
culture-related theories. This may also have implications for the entrance of psychodrama in
other countries in Asia.
