WHAT DOES ROLE REVERSAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Role reversal

Role reversal is one of the psychodrama techniques that demonstrate a protagonist’s intrapersonal conflicts deeply and explicitly on the stage. This technique is perhaps the single most important and effective technique in psychodrama. In psychodrama, the protagonist is invited to move out of his own position or role into the significant other’s position and enact that role. Therefore, the auxiliary ego can observe and learn how to play the role. For example, in a parents-children session, a protagonist who is the child reverses role with one of his or her parents. This technique not only helps the protagonist get more insight of a specific role but also helps the director, the auxiliary egos, and the audience learn more about that specific role.
