ABSTRACT:
When democratic civil society is threatened by internal and external forces and interests, group therapists and group members in general play a significant and central role, as Moreno believed.
Sociodramatic work is a therapeutic and educational tool that facilitates observation, emotional and mental processing, and promotes an opportunity for paradigm shifts through empathy and thoughtful transformation.
At the end of the meeting, the participants may discover new ways of thinking or hidden feelings that will contribute to a future change in civil life.
