Related psychodramatic techniques include the soliloquy and speaking behind the back, this last involving the patient's saying things regarding another person as if that other were not present; this is especially helpful in promoting disclosure in family therapy (Blatner 1994).
The imagery therapies involve visualizing a scene, such as a positive outcome to a past humiliating or terrifying event, becoming clear regarding goal-setting or neutralizing the fear of an anticipated future event. Physically enacting such scenes makes the process even more vivid and also can extend the technique for those who are less visual, verbal or psychologically insightful. The drama makes it concrete and thus can be applied in a modified format with children, developmentally delayed patients and others with limited capacity for psychological insight.
Perhaps the most important psychodra-matic technique is that of role reversal. The therapist suggests that the patient imagine what it's like to be in the role of a significant other, and then helps that patient warm to the task-the way a director encourages an actor in developing an assigned role.

The scores of other techniques are mostly variations of the preceding, and their full discussion requires textbook-length treatment (Blatner 1988a, Leveton 1992).

I've also found that its basic model of role theory can function as a general, overarching metatheory that then can integrate the best insights of all the various approaches (Blatner 1991).
Moreno's contribution was that of emphasizing the practical applicability of role distance, the idea that the person, like the actor, can shift from being merely a player of roles to also take on the "meta-role" of his or her own playwright and director. This operationalizes the observing ego, giving it actual physical presence. Roles shift from involvement in a scene to involvement in reevaluating how that role is being performed. In this way psychodrama helps patients become more psychologically aware.
The other major theoretical foundation for psychodrama is the idea of promoting creativity.

The other major theoretical foundation for psychodrama is the idea of promoting creativity. Otto Rank made this an important principle in his later years , but Moreno developed specific methods to this end. His discovery was that the best way to help people take a creative approach to life ( instead of merely defensively seeking self-justification ) is through spontaneity , improvisation , a willingness to plunge in and experiment in action.
