Contemporary Psychodrama weaves together psychodrama and psychoanalysis with illustrative clinical examples, whilst preserving the essence of psychodramatic philosophy and methodology. Previously unavailable in the English language, this book presents José Fonseca's diverse new approaches to psychodrama together with a blending of theories. The book is divided into clear sections, covering: * new approaches to psychodrama theory * new approaches to psychodrama technique * psychodrama and sexuality * the past and future of psychodrama. Fonseca's innovative ideas include the adaptation of techniques originally intended for groups to individual psychodramatic psychotherapy. He distinguishes between not only the normal and the mentally ill but the normal and the optimal, and presents a detailed developmental psychology, inspired by Moreno and Buber, but clearly influenced by object relations theory. Contemporary Psychodrama presents the original concepts of a leading light of the Brazilian psychodrama movement that will be of great benefit to all professionals working with psychodrama. José Fonseca, M.D., Ph.D., was one of the pioneers of the psychodramatic movement in Brazil and a founder of the Brazilian federation of psychodrama.

In this clear and spirited book, Dr. Lewis Yablonsky, a pioneer for over twenty-five years in psychodrama and group psychotherapy, explains how the emotional and social problems in one's life may be untangled through the use of psychodrama. Unlike most forms of therapy, which rely upon the gradual attainment of insight and self-awareness, psychodrama produces an immediate and intense emotional experience and a resulting resolution that exceeds the traditional method of "understanding" a problem. The peak experiences of psychodrama give the participants- both the protagonists and the auxiliary actors- a chance to relive, to replay, the events and emotions, the joy, pain, conflict, and grief we so rarely understand while we are experiencing them in our everyday lives. Dr. Yablonsky shows in precise detail the way in which self-help psychodrama groups can be organized to resolve problems between parent and child, husband and wife, teacher and student. -- from Book Jacket.
