Description
Summary:Jacob Levi Moreno (1889–1974), an Austrian psychologist and psychiatrist, made significant contributions to his field through innovative therapeutic approaches. By integrating sociological research with clinical practice, Moreno developed psychodrama, a method inspired by the dramatic potential and immersive environment of theater. This technique fosters spontaneity and facilitates the patient’s confrontation with their inner truth. Key principles of psychodrama, such as communication, emotional expression, and externalization, are crucial in therapeutic interventions. This study aims to explore Moreno’s theories and their application to personality evolution during the Zar ritual practiced by the Ahl-e Hava community in Hormozgan. This study seeks to determine how personality development observed in patients and participants of the Ahl-e Hava aligns with Moreno’s perspectives.
