What is the difference between psychodrama and psychodramatic methods?
The former term is used in several senses: (1) Classical psychodrama–a (usually) 2-3 hour process in group including a warm-up, action, sharing, and closure phase; (2) a general field deriving from the work of J.L. Moreno that includes classical psychodrama, psychodramatic methods, sociodrama, sociometry, role training, spontaneity training, and the like; and (3) as any action modality that has a significant derivation from Moreno’s work, even if it differs in many respects, such as Bibliodrama, psychoanalytic psychodrama (used more in Europe and South America), and some forms that merge with drama therapy. Psychodramatic methods involve the integration of the techniques and principles of psychodrama in other forms of psychotherapy. While classical psychodrama requires more specialized training by (ideally) accredited trainers of psychodrama, some psychodramatic methods may be utilized without having to undergo specialized training.
