Issues or problems and their possible solutions are enacted rather than just talked about. Psychodrama offers the opportunity to practise new roles safely, see oneself from outside, gain insight and change. There is a director, an action area and group members. The director supports groups to explore new solutions to old problems, group members participate in the drama as significant others and share how they personally relate to and can learn from the presenting issue at the end of the session.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="09eb0830.png" border=0 width="176" height="131" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> Free from desire, you realize the mystery.</div> <div> Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
