Keywords:
sociodrama, psychodrama, psychodrama a deux, motivational interviewing, safety, states of change, role development, bibliodramaAbstract
Sociodrama a` deux (SAD) is a new variation of sociodrama which combines elements of
psychodrama, sociodrama, and motivational interviewing. SAD allows clinicians to work
with clients in the early stages of the change process. Safety is regulated by limiting the use
of self-disclosure through the use of a fictional character. This article outlines the theory of
this new hybrid technique and the procedure.
