New Approaches to Psychodrama
Keywords:
PsychodramaAbstract
This paper provides a short philosophical overview on the need for creating psychodramatic approaches to integrate the concepts of soul psychology, quantum psychological processes, and emotional intelligence. These approaches can be transformative and liberating for the practice and teaching of psychodrama. Interestingly, historical precedents exist for an integration of these concepts in Japan.
