Abstract

The systemic idea of learning by doing is a basis for the role-playing. The role-playing is related to the forming of the therapist’s repertoire and way of conducting therapeutic session. The contributions of the role-playing influence the development of the student as a therapist. With the role-playing, students can get practice to improve skills, self-awareness, get supervision and feedback. Role-playing shows the student`s style of conducting therapy. The dynamic in the group influences personal experience and efficacy of the role-playing.
