People who have participated in Psychodrama groups and/or received individual case or family therapy in the form of psychodrama would agree that Psychodrama is an efficient way to help people. Psychodrama emphasizes the principle of action, so the director often says, "you dont have to say it, just do it please”. Two goals can be achieved through the here-and-now actions: 1) it allows the protagonist to re-experience the stuck past and reinterpret the meaning of past events in order to gain new insights; 2) it also allows ‘intuitively happening’ of the events that currently trouble the protagonist when they have not happened. Therefore the fuzzy, chaotic or imagined scenes can be clarified and new life energy can also be found and created.Guided by the core philosophy of Yi Shu Psychodrama and incorporating traditional Chinese culture, this paper carries out a large number of one-to-one cases and family therapy practice, which provides strong practical guidance.
