Author: Daniele Reggianini*
Summary
This article focuses on the relationship between psychodrama and diagnostic action. Beginning with general epistemological considerations regarding the relationship between the investigating person and the observed object, existentialism and scientific knowledge, subjectivity, and the search for universal truth, the developed reflections are directed to define typologies, purposes, characteristics and limits of possible diagnostic activities compatible with the Morenian philosophy and method. In this context the specific category of the operative diagnosis is defined, of which principles and reference criteria are then explained and described.
