Elderly psychiatric patients confined to institutions frequently become increasingly isolated and debilitated. The verbal therapies and medications traditionally used to help remotivate patients have not been found to be as effective in dealing with these patients. Psychodrama and the tenets of sociometry, however, have been found effective. The author describes a psychodrama program at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, D.C., that has helped remotivate elderly patients and reintegrate them into a more active life in the hospital. The author provides a brief review of the literature and an introduction to the methodology and techniques of psychodrama, and presents two case studies of how the program has helped aged patients.

The aim of this study is to analyze the use of pedagogical psychodrama as a strategy for reflecting on the humanization of health care. Five meetings were held from May to June 2000. In these meetings the following themes were developed: context of work in emergencies; updating of the personal and professional, individual and group reference, and acknowledgement of users. In view of the need of rethinking humanization in emergency care, we consider that the psychodrama approach alerted health professionals for the necessary commitment and responsibility in their work.

Review
This paper describes the practice of sociodrama, a method created by J. L. Moreno in the 1930s, and the Brazilian contemporary socio-psychodrama. In 1970, after the Fifth International Congress of Psychodrama was held in Brazil, group psychotherapy began to flourish both in private practice and hospital clinical settings. Twenty years later, the Brazilian health care system added group work as a reimbursable mental health procedure to improve social health policies. In this context, socio-psychodrama became a key resource for social health promotion within groups. Some specific conceptual contributions by Brazilians on sociodrama are also noteworthy.
