Psychodrama is an action method of psychotherapy, that includes spontaneous dramatization, role playing and dramatic self-presentation. By closely recreating real-life situations, and acting them out in the present, clients have the opportunity to evaluate their behavior and more deeply understand a particular situation in their lives. Psychodrama can be used for individual and family therapy, but is most often utilized in a group scenario, in which each person in the group can become therapeutic agents for one another's scenes. Psychodrama can be used in both clinical and non-clinical fields. For example, psychodrama is often used in business, education, and professional training.
