Popis: The article presents the experience of using psychodrama in an online format as a way of psychological assistance in a therapeutic group and social project during a pandemic. It is argued that in the conditions of force majeure, the timely provision of psychological assistance is of particular importance. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the use of remote psychodrama in social work during the pandemic crisis. In an online format, psychodrama is an effective way to provide psychological assistance. At the same time, differences from traditional psychodrama and the specifics of psychodrama online are revealed. The experiences of a person in quarantine are intensified, therefore, when conducting a psychodramatic game, ecological entry into the zoom space becomes important. The necessity of using the physical actions of the participants in a playful way to maintain the level of energy in the psychodramatic warm-up, which is a particularly important element in the work of an online psychodramatherapist, has been identified. Attention is focused on the fact that the main techniques of psychodrama, such as role reversal, duplication and mirror, take place not only in the usual format, but also remotely.It has been established that for group members an important part in the final phase of psychodrama is sharing, thanks to which the protagonist receives support and additional attention, and group members get the opportunity to relieve tension, emotional release, additional awareness and meaning. The following methods were used in the study: the method of psychotherapy and psychodrama in an online format. Results: the difficulties of adapting the psychodrama method to the virtual space are analyzed. As an example, psychodramatic games are described in the groups “Go through the crisis” and “Happiness in the palms”. Conclusions: remote psychodrama in the era of digital technologies occupies a worthy place among the methods of psychological assistance.
