Abstract

I should like to speak of the universal applicability and the depth of psychodrama. I have known the method through the founder himself; and I have known it through many years of experience with all classes of mental patients; and perhaps most importantly, through experience with healthy, superior parents and children who have sought opportunities for resolving everyday stresses of family life. I should like to say: Psychodrama is a way of life. I would even go further and say that psychodrama dips down so basically into the essence of what man is that it is without bounds culturally. I say this not flamboyantly on a crest of enthusiasm from the remarks of previous speakers; I speak not only from use of the method with individuals from the gamut of sub-cultural groups of the United States, but also from ten years of experience in administration and research with 36 nationalities. The principles inherent in psychodrama have served equally for contacts with any of these national cultures.
