Abstract

This is a report on my recent experience of working with a group of people whose treatment consisted of individual psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy combined with psychodramatic group therapy. There are obvious advantages to any concurrent individual and group therapy. However, when the same person functions in both therapeutic roles, some technical and theoretical complications can arise when the group therapy is psychodrama. This paper examines the complexities of such combined therapies when they are performed by the same person.
