Doubling is a central method in psychodrama and is also used in other forms of therapy and counseling.
In humanistic psychodrama, a double is a group member who appears next to the protagonist during the protagonist-centered work.
In a holistic communication process, supported by body language alignment, the inner experience of the protagonist is clarified, conveyed to the group, and among other things, promoted knowledge and insight.
This game is made possible by the constant process of interaction between the group members as a double and auxiliary ego (fellow player), the protagonist and the therapeutic leader.
If the double stays on the ball, this leads to knowledge, insight, and reflection in the protagonist.
