Presentation of the Topic
”Psychodrama and Values.: Addressing and Integrating Diverse Perspectives”
Values play a profound role in shaping individual identities and relationships. Values act as guiding principles that influence how people make decisions, navigate conflicts, and experience the world around them. In psychodrama, values are often at the core of personal dilemmas, emotional struggles, and interpersonal conflicts.
Moreover, in an increasingly globalized and diverse world, we are often confronted with a wide range of differing, and sometimes conflicting, value systems. Addressing the topic of “Values” in a psychodrama setting allows for the exploration of these differences, helping participants reflect on their own values, understand others’ perspectives, and find ways to bridge cultural and moral divides. Psychodrama, with its emphasis on role-playing and enactment, provides an ideal platform for this exploration, enabling participants to step into the roles of others, confront value-based conflicts, and integrate diverse perspectives in a safe and supportive environment. This topic is both timely and essential for fostering deeper self-awareness, emotional resilience, and more meaningful social connections in an increasingly complex world.
