The article analyzes dramatic art as an alternative therapy to counteract psychosocial problems in vulnerable and excluded subjects. Dramatic art includes workshops, dramatic play, creative drama, dramatization, improvisation, and the theater. To this purpose, a qualitative design was used, through a documentary perspective, which focused on two categories: dramatic art, and vulnerable and excluded populations. The findings on these concepts are presented here, after the review and analysis of the Apa Psyc Net, Cambrige J, DOAJ, JSTOR, SCIELO, Science Direct, EBSCO, Wilson, Web of Science, among other sources. In this perspective, based on a work carried out in a critical-interpretative horizon, studies made by researchers were reviewed, using a bibliographic matrix and analytical matrix of content as instruments. As a result, dramatic art was recognized as a tool to help vulnerable populations; and different methodologies and research results, where dramatic art was used to reduce exclusions, were also identified. It is concluded that dramatic art, based on attention to body language, thought, theatrical work, changes that the subject has in the performance, among others, increases ingenuity and communication, and enables aesthetic and plastic development. This type of modifications contributes to improve the biopsychosocial level of vulnerable and marginalized population, to rebuild their personality and personal stories, to develop social skills, to improve their communication, to provide tools to solve problems, to manage emotions, and to improve their self-esteem; these are substantial capacities and human developments to counteract the psychosocial problems that derive from their situation of fragility and exclusion.
