The Use of Psychodrama to Facilitate Supervisee Development in Master's Level Counseling Students

Abstract

Master's students' growth as counselors was examined within a developmental context. The students reported feeling more comfortable with themselves and the counseling process after the inclusion of psychodrama theory and technique into the classroom training. Movement from valuing external sources of standards to more confidence in their own judgments was noted. The students progressed from beginning to intermediate levels of supervisee functioning in the areas of emotional awareness, autonomy, and respect for individual differences.
