Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

C
The concept behind psychodrama is to allow the client to relive situations. The situation may have occurred a few hours before or many years before. Psychodrama allows the client to relive and reexperience the feelings attached to the situation. Other members of the group may be recruited to play the parts of individuals who may have been involved in the situation the client is attempting to relive.
