A good and practical book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
"Acting In: Practical Applications of Psychodramatic Methods" is a good companion to Blatner's earlier work, "Foundations of Psychodrama." He takes the reader step by step through the elements of psychodrama, including principals and pitfalls and techniques such as role reversal, doubling and surplus reality. As usual, Blatner's writing is clear and succinct and will be helpful to students as well as experienced psychotherapists and educators who are new to the psychodramatic method.Of special interest is the section that notes that psychodrama has many applications, not just in the mental health professions but also with the education of children and adolescents, and in creative dramatics, industry and religion.
Must Reading

In my opinion, this is the basic book for those interesed in psychodrama. It contains the fundamentals and is worth reading for both beginning students and seasoned therapists.
