Question 1

Incidents resembling those that cause problems in real life are frequently reenacted in

Accepted Answer

Psychodrama involves role-playing and reenacting various situations, including incidents that may have caused problems in real life, in order to gain insight and understanding of the situation and develop new ways of coping.

Logotherapy and directive therapies may also explore real-life issues, but do not typically involve role-playing and reenactment.

Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is a brief, focused, and evidence-based therapy that targets problems in interpersonal relationships, and is often used to treat depression.

Rational-emotive behavioral therapy (REBT) focuses on identifying and changing irrational beliefs, existential therapy focuses on finding meaning and purpose in life, and Gestalt therapy emphasizes self-awareness and personal growth through exploring emotions and experiences in the present moment. While these therapies may also be helpful for some individuals, they are not specifically focused on interpersonal conflicts within families.
