Talk:Psychodrama

message: I think this article is very good. It has valuble information, furthering the knowledge of exactly what psychodrama is. The only thing I would add more of is in the uses of Psychodrama. I found what you already had really interesting, but I found myself wanting to learn much more. Maybe find a case involving psychodrama to show an example? I think an every day example would really make this article good. With more citations to follow.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bglynn1 (talk • contribs) 19:59, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

message: A group of undergraduate theatre students is going to try our crack at improving this article a bit as part of a psychology course.  We do agree, as has been stated above, that there is a great deal more to say about this topic than is currently addressed in the article.  Constructive feedback and help, as well as suggestions regarding what is most pertinent to address or expand upon in terms of editing, would be gladly received.
Mhildebr--I wonder if the "History and Key Practioners" section you added would be better off being labeled "Moreno," as he is considered the real founder of this practice.  I feel like more time and space can be given to him in this article.  In that same vein, I'd love to see the discussion of Moreno expanded in terms of his philosophy, inspiration, and legacy.  Something immediate--I really don't understand the second sentence of that paragraph.  I considered trying to edit it for clarity, but could not figure out what you were trying to say.  Can you take another look at it? Raybird618 (talk) 06:29, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

message: There is a good start on what psychodrama is and its history. I feel that there could be more on the uses of psychodrama and some examples. Karla.Koppendrayer (talk) 01:31, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Literary uses 

message: :In the first sentence of the beginning paragraph I think it would be important to explain what sorts of actions should be completed through psychodrama. Also in paragraph one, "unrehearsed expressions of mental states in the hear and now," confused me. Hear and now is a bit redundant, and doesn't enhance understanding. The last sentence of this paragraph doesn't need "in the group" at the end, because that too is redundant.
:Paragraph two needs to give credentials to Moreno, to show the reader why he is a credible source. Does the sentence about the audience refer to other group members, or is there and audience that observes through the psychodrama process? Also is the sentence about the "wild universe" truly necessary?
:The second sentence of the third paragraph runs on far too long, without reaching a clear explanation of the importance and relationship of creativity to spontaneity. I feel that it would be important to add what certifications a psychodrama director needs.
Psychological issue uses-
:The first sentence is not needed be because it is stated in the beginning. The part that talks about the protagonist analyzing relationships should define what relationships this includes.
:The second paragraph might benefit by explaining what sorts of situations become more spontaneous.
:A link should be provided for "group psychotherapy," and there should also be an explanation given on why group psychotherapy is such a disservice. Also why is it widely used in business and industry, and how does it train interrelationship skills.
History-
:watch out for using which too often, because it detracts from the comprehension of the article. Also please explain how Reich and Freud have contributed to this topic. Finally the part where it talks about Moreno beginning to work with kids then moving to large groups. Does this mean large groups of adults?
Other-
:I think this article could benefit from a research section, showing how effective psychodrama is, and past and current studies on this topic.
Other than that with a few edits, this article is on its way to being great. Xadmanx (talk) 05:34, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
