Psychodrama games: a framework for heterogenous psychodrama groups with children from Egypt
Tóm tắt
Play for children is not only a pass time, but children use play to express their emotions and ideas and they also work through problems in their lives spontaneously without the aid of adults. In modern times the opportunities for a group of children to meet and play spontaneously with no organized sports or electronics are diminishing. This article in the journal Zeitschrift für Psychodrama und Soziometrie presents psychodrama games which are a way to offer children a space to express themselves and are inspired by online games and current events. These psychodrama games evolved from play therapy groups in Egypt using action methods and traditional Egyptian group games for children. The article ends with a discussion of psychodrama practices with children and a conclusion on using the heterogenous group format with the psychodrama games.
