Η φράση του J. Moreno (ιδρυτή του ψυχοδράματος) αποκρυσταλλώνει πλήρως τη θεραπευτική σχέση που αναπτύσσεται μεταξύ θεραπευτή και θεραπευόμενου. Η ατομική ψυχοθεραπεία αλλά και η ομαδική είναι από τις πιο σημαντικές και ουσιαστικές συναντήσεις για τη ζωή ενός ατόμου, καθώς περιβάλλεται από ασφάλεια, αποδοχή, έμπνευση, εκτίμηση και ελευθερία. Ο κάθε θεραπευόμενος ανακαλύπτει ένα χώρο αποδοχής, ενσυναίσθησης, αυθορμητισμού, αυτοανάπτυξης και κρατάει τις ώρες δράσης με τον θεραπευτή του για ένα μεγάλο μέρος της ζωής του,ίσως και για πάντα, σαν σημείο αναφοράς για τις αλλαγές που κατέκτησε μέσω αυτής της διαδικασίας. Με την μέθοδο του Ψυχοδράματος οι συμμετέχοντες συχνά καλούνται να φέρουν πραγματικές εμπειρίες της ζωής στην ψυχοδραματοθεραπευτική σκηνή ανάγοντας αυτές σε «μια μορφή θεάτρου», έτσι αναβιώνοντας ελεγχόμενα αυτά που έχουν συμβεί ή συμβαίνουν στην ζωή τους, επεξεργάζονται τα βαθύτερα τραύματα και τις αγωνίες με την μορφή της διορθωτικής εμπειρίας στο εδώ και στο τώρα.
