Galileo (b.1564) said, “You cannot teach people anything. You can only help them discover it within themselves”. As a method of self-discovery, psychodrama works because it is guided by principles that capture fundamental aspects of human nature. Specifically, the potency of psychodrama emerges whenever attention is paid to four areas of human existence: the living nature of the group, the flow of spontaneity, embodied action and the ritual power of theatre. Each of these areas implicitly captures something that people respond to, but in combination they create a therapeutic theatre where participants’ inner life or spirit is sustained and nourished.
Moreno invented the Social and Cultural Atom as an innovative way to display the self and the range of its significant relationships. It depicts the significant people in an individual’s life, their social atom, overlaid with their dynamic relational patterns, their cultural atom. Its usefulness is that it sets the context for developmental work by understanding patterns in how tele and spontaneity function in relationships. Essentially it a tool for self-awareness.
The three stages of the double, the mirror and role reversal, from birth to approximately 5 years, describe Moreno’s foundational sequence for human development. The corresponding techniques of doubling, mirroring and role reversal emerged from Moreno’s theatrical experiments with role playing and spontaneity in the 1920s. At that time, he knew that his psychodramatic methods worked, but not why they worked. His subsequent insight was that the therapeutic effectiveness of these techniques is because they “are profoundly related to the dynamics of human growth” (Moreno 1952 in Fox, 1987:136).

Leadership: This can be in formal and informal settings. We are all confronted with life situations when we are called to show leadership. The question is when to speak up and when to be silent. When to act and when not to act. The Psychodrama method assists us to look as situations and to practise different responses that take the situation forward and into healthy responses. The method allow a person to free themselves from old dysfunctional habits to bring to the foreground abilities , spontaneity and an expression that enhances one's formal leadership roles. We will experiment through the use of actions methods to explore different situations that allows one's true ability to come forward. It will allow a person to learn to stand alone in confidence that their leadership takes the group or organisation forward towards their stated goals.
