Experiences of Psychodrama Courses

Abstract

I am convinced that each psychodrama instructor must form a personal relationship with his or her own views on psychodrama. This relationship, like all human relationships, presupposes a profound study of the other party and a fine tuning of the relationship from all angles. A working relationship cannot be formed unless one sees the other person as he or she really is. I shall relate my experiences in three psychodrama courses held in Finland for one week during the summers of 1983, 1984, and 1985, and describe how we lived during those weeks, what I learned from them, the questions they provoked, and the answers that were found.
