4. Consensus building

Psychodrama uses spontaneous dramas to act out emotional problems to promote health through development of new perceptions, behaviors, and connections with others. Others in the group take the role of significant others. 1. Role-playing does not use the technique of alter egos. 3. This is not a description of cognitive therapy. 4. Consensus building is not a form of therapy.
