General queries about these methods
How does psychodrama and sociodrama work?
In an open-ended way of people trying out and enacting different roles and responses to difficult problems, people find ideas and solutions they didn't know they had, and which they would never have found using conventional training or self-discovery methods. Instead of passively absorbing ‘the answers', they actively find their own answers and help other people find theirs.
