From the Back Cover

This handbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of psychodrama, for professional and trainee psychodramatists.

The structure of the handbook innovatively reflects that of the classic psychodrama session:

Warm Up What is psychodrama? An introduction to the history and philosophy of psychodrama
Action How is psychodrama done? A look at the five instruments of psychodrama: the Stage, the Protagonist, the Group, the Auxiliary Ego and the Director
Sharing How is psychodrama used? The contributors detailed first-hand accounts of psychodrama sessions illustrate how improvising on stage acts as a key to emotional healing.

Essential reading for practising and aspiring psychotherapists, this highly accessible and thorough introduction to psychodrama will also interest those working in allied mental health disciplines.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must for all group psychotherapists, 27 Mar 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Handbook of Psychodrama (Hardcover)

My cleaning lady read it and understood what I do for the first time. The book is laid out in an easily accessible way. It is divided into the 5 tools of psychodrama: the protagonist, the group, the stage, the director and the auxiliary ego. Each of these is a chapter by a leading psychodramatist. The four sections of the book are based on the four parts of each psychodrama session. The warm-up is the first section and the first part of any psychodrama. The second section is the action, the third is the sharing and the fourth is the processing of the session.The lead editor is Marcia Karp, a world-reknowned leader in the field of group psychotherapy. The two co-editors are Paul Holmes, an adolescent psychiatrist, and Kate Bradshaw-Tauvon, a group analyst and psychodramatist. Each of the twelve contributing authors are psychodramatists and trained atat the Holwell International Psychodrama Centre, Devon, England with Marcia Karp and Ken Sprague. the authors have each become distinguished in their own fields and workplace, many of whom take their place on the world stage as lecturers and trainers. I liked the chapter Marcia Karp wrote on the director. She focuses on the importance of human beings having the courage to know what they know and use it in life as well as in being a group leader. She gives a particulary chilling example of the Dunblane, Scotland school tragedy. After the murders, people admitted how much they actually knew about Thomas Hamilton, the mentally ill adult who killed 16 children and a their teacher. Karp makes the point that we all take in much more information than we think we have and that we need to train ourselves in the courage to use natural intuition when leading groups. There are many well grounded chapters. One such is by Peter Haworth on the background and history of psychodrama and its founder, Jacob Levy Moreno. There are other chapters with specific use of the method. For example, Chris Farmer, a psychiatrist, develops the use with depressed patients. Other books by the authors are Psychodrama:Inspiration and Technique and Psychodrama Since Moreno, both published by Routledge, N.Y./London
