Psychodrama and environment: Being environmental, its perceptions and limitations

Abstract

This text compiles the Psychodrama contributions aiming at promoting discussions about environmental degradation whose gravity endangers human survival of future generations. To broaden and deepen the understanding of human behavior in contemporary society, comparing it to the current environmental problems, the theoretical debate is followed by the application of a dramatic game played with nine psychology students and ten ladies from the Ministry for the Third Age. The conclusion is that the changes in the environmental awareness are linked to social experiences in which the environment is designed and appreciated by different axiological values, such as geographical, cultural, historical, economic and ideological aspects.
