| psychodrama download: Disorder-Specific Psychodrama Therapy in Theory and Practice Reinhard T. Krüger, 2024-01-17 The open access book explains the practical approach in psychodrama with the help of multidisciplinary theories of self-development, mentalization, play, and psychosomatic resonance. These theories help to structure the therapeutic experiences of Moreno and other psychodramatists and to compare them with experiences and theories of other psychotherapy methods. Against this background, the author develops models of a disorder-specific psychodrama therapy for people with personality disorders, borderline organization, trauma disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, depression, grief reactions, suicidal crises, masochism, psychoses, addiction disorders, eating disorders, and behavioral addictions. The therapy models convey a deep understanding of these disorders and sometimes open up new ways of treatment. They can be used both in individual and in group therapy. The methods are explained with the help of more than 120 case examples. The theoretical explanation makes the psychodramatic action methods accessible and applicable to therapists from other schools of therapy as well as in counseling and coaching. This makes the practical work therapeutically more effective and creative. This is an open access book. |

| psychodrama download: Healing Eating Disorders with Psychodrama and Other Action Methods Karen Carnabucci, Linda Ciotola, 2013-01-01 Psychodrama and other action methods are especially helpful in the treatment of the classic eating disorders as well as dieting struggles, body dissatisfaction and associated issues of fear, sadness, silence and shame. This book provides clinicians with sound theoretical information, practical treatment guidelines and a wealth of clinically-tested action structures and interventions. The authors describe how they have introduced action methods to work with a diverse range of clients, and suggest ways in which psychodrama practitioners, experiential therapists and others may integrate these methods into their practice. Offering fresh ideas for tailoring psychodramatic standards such as The Living Newspaper, Magic Shop and the Social Atom to eating disorder issues, they provide extensive examples of psychodrama interventions - classic and specially adapted for eating disorders - for both the experienced practitioner and those new to experiential therapies. They also explain how psychodrama can be used in combination with other expressive, holistic and complementary approaches, including family constellations, music, art, imagery, ritual, Five Element Acupuncture, yoga, Reiki and other energy work. This pioneering book is essential reading for practitioners and students of psychodrama, drama therapy, experiential psychotherapy, cognitive and expressive arts therapies and mental health professionals, as well as professionals interested in complementary health modalities. |

| psychodrama download: Psychodrama: Grundlagen Falko Ameln, Josef Kramer, 2014-04-12 Psychodrama als erlebnisaktivierendes Verfahren – die Grundlagen: Das Psychodrama unterscheidet sich von anderen Verfahren durch den handelnden Zugang zum Erleben. Themen werden nicht nur verbal, sondern vor allem durch szenische Darstellung erschlossen. Anders als das Rollenspiel basiert Psychodrama jedoch auf Szenen aus dem realen Erleben der Gruppenmitglieder und wird daher als wesentlich realistischer erlebt. Der Ablauf: Die Autoren führen systematisch in die Praxis des Psychodramas ein und leiten Schritt für Schritt durch die Phasen des psychodramatischen Prozesses – von der Kontaktaufnahme bis zur Auswertung und Vertiefung. Das Handwerkszeug: Fundiert und praxisnah werden Instrumente und Handlungstechniken des Psychodramas sowie psychodramatische Arrangements für Erwärmungs- und Aktionsphase dargestellt – von Aktionssoziometrie bis Zukunftsprojektion. Der Kontext: Hintergrundwissen zur integrativen Arbeit mit dem Psychodrama, möglichen Problemen bei der Arbeit mit psychodramatischen Techniken (und deren Bewältigung) sowie zu Tabuthemen und Gruppendynamik – von Aggression bis Zusammengehörigkeitsgefühl.

Geschrieben für Psychologische Psychotherapeuten, auch Kinder- und Jugendlichenpsychotherapeuten, sowie für andere psychosoziale Berufsgruppen (Supervisoren, Trainer, Berater, Schulberater...) und Organisationsentwickler. |
| psychodrama download: Psychodrama Paul Wilkins, 1999-10-22 `The book is helpfully structured with its cental chapters broadly following the shape of a typical psychodrama session′ - Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling & Psychology `As with all Paul Wilkins writings the book is thorough and well-researched, with a wealth of information arising from wide readership and personal communication.... My own view is that the book fulfils its aim as an introduction to psychodrama for the audience it addresses. It also is packed with information about areas which experienced psychodramatists and sociodramatists will wish to debate′ - British Psychodrama Association Journal The text unfolds in such a way that the central feature of psychodrama as an action therapy is spontaneously made manifest. The book is good for students of this method and would be a challenging refresher for practitioners in the field. All the special terms used by psychodramatists are defined in a succinct glossary so that the uninitiated will not be bewildered on first encountering auxilliary egos, surplus reality, social atoms or even the titillating idea of act hunger! The Guide to further reading and the section on psychodrama and the internet ensure that old-fashioned book- and journal-worms are as well catered for as cybersleuths′ -New Therapist This fascinating book introduces the rationale, theory and psychotherapeutic practice of psychodrama. It provides an insight into its origins, outlining its techniques and bringing to life the dynamic interrelationships that form the core of the practice. Following the theatrical process that lies at the heart of psychodrama, the book shows how the enactment of scenes from the past, present or future, real or imagined, can benefit the group of individuals involved, leading to unexpected insight and growth through creativity and spontaneity. Psychodramatic terms and processes are explained and illustrated using numerous examples from practice. |

| psychodrama download: Staging the Personal Clark Baim, 2020-09-05 This book examines the history, ethics, and intentions of staging personal stories and offers theatre makers detailed guidance and a practical model to support safe, ethical practice. Contemporary theatre has crossed boldly into therapeutic terrain and is now the site of radical self-exposure. Performances that would once have seemed shockingly personal and exposing have become commonplace, as people reveal their personal stories to audiences with ever-increasing candor. This has prompted the need for a robust and pragmatic framework for safe, ethical practice in mainstream and applied theatre. In order to promote a wider range of ethical risk-taking where practitioners negotiate blurred boundaries in safe and artistically creative ways, this book draws on relevant theory and practice from theatre and performance studies, psychodrama and attachment narrative therapy and provides detailed guidance supporting best practice in the theatre of personal stories. The guidance is structured within a four-part framework focused on history, ethics, praxis, and intentions. This includes a newly developed model for safe practice, called the Drama Spiral. The book is for theatre makers in mainstream and applied theatre, educators, students, researchers, drama therapists, psychodramatists, autobiographical performers, and the people who support them. |

| psychodrama download: Psychodrama, Surplus Reality and the Art of Healing Zerka T. Moreno, Leif Dag Blomkvist, Thomas Rutzel, 2013-01-11 The practice of psychodrama allows participants to create a world for themselves, free of usual rules and constraints. This freedom from all ordinary conventions is what Moreno called 'Surplus Reality', and is one of the most vital, curative and mysterious elements of psychodrama. In this book, Leif Dag Blomkvist and Zerka Moreno explore the depths of this long-neglected concept. In addition, each chapter is prefaced by Leif Dag Blomkvist's explanations and illuminations of the forces and energies - from early religious rituals and festivals to the art of Surrealism - which have influenced psychodrama. Psychodramatists and mental health professionals who wish to take therapy beyond the 'verbal' will find the book valuable reading. |

| psychodrama download: Traumasexuality Peter John Schouten, 2020-01-31 Traumasexuality concerns the lives of men who were sexually abused as boys. Everyone finds sexual abuse very upsetting. However, if you ask the question what makes it so bad, very few people can say anything sensible about it. Once you have read this book, you will be an expert in this subject. You will acquire new insights and have a precise vocabulary for naming the details. In these times everyone knows you can contract lung cancer from smoking. But in the past, we did not know that, and smoking was cool. My intention, through this book, is that everyone learns that you suffer mental paralysis as a result of sexual abuse. The terms traumasexuality and mental paralysis provide a new perspective on the damage caused by sexual abuse. Men who have been sexually abused, only see when they reflect on their lives how the abuse has determined every facet of it. This book provides a detailed answer to what happens to a boy at the moment he is sexually abused by an adult. In just a matter of seconds he is dealt a whole range of shocks. Read about the influence that this moment has on the rest of their lives. How the sexual imprint of the perpetrator can be seen in Traumasexuality and the paralytic power of the perpetrator in the Mental Paralysis. As a partner, you sometimes do not realise that with a sexually abused man you have entered a triangular relationship with him and his perpetrator. You can do a lot as a partner. But read here what you must avoid doing. Processing sexual abuse is possible. This is hopeful, but it demands a lot of work. The entire process is explained here with all the obstacles you may encounter. You have to banish the perpetrator's control, otherwise you will carry a trauma with you your entire life that is sexually attractive. |
| psychodrama download: Body Image in Eating Disorders Bernadetta Izydorczyk, 2022 Body Image in Eating Disorders explores issues relating to the prevention, clinical diagnosis, and psychological treatment of distortions of body image in eating disorders. It presents a multifactorial model of indicators for diagnosis and treatment, considering psychological, sociocultural, and family indicators. Based on original empirical research with women and girls suffering from eating disorders, the book draws attention to limitations and dilemmas related to psychological diagnosis and treatment of people with eating disorders including anorexia readiness syndrome, bulimia, and bigorexia. The book proposes an integrative psychodynamic approach to the diagnosis and treatment of body image disorders and presents case studies illustrating examples of application of integration of psychodynamic therapy and psychodrama in psychological treatment of young people suffering from eating disorders. It considers risk factors including abnormal body image for the development of eating disorders and argues that psychological diagnosis of the body image is an important factor in determining the right direction of psychological treatment for people with eating disorders. Drawing on theoretical foundations and evidence-based clinical practice, the book will be of great interest to researchers, academics, and students in the fields of clinical and applied psychology, mental health, and specialists in eating disorders. |
| psychodrama download: Das Psychodrama in der pädagogischen Arbeit mit auffälligen Kindern und Jugendlichen Christine Paetzold, 2010-01-05 Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Während meines achtmonatigen Praktikums in einer kinder- und jugendpsychiatrischen Ambulanz und Tagesklinik in Höxter habe ich in zwei Psychodramagruppen für auffällige Kinder und Jugendliche mitgearbeitet. Diese fanden einmal pro Woche mit Kindern und Jugendlichen beiderlei Geschlechts im Alter zwischen sechs und fünfzehn Jahren statt. Die Gruppenzusammenstellung änderte sich während der Dauer meines Praktikums sowohl hinsichtlich der einzelnen Teilnehmer, als auch in Bezug auf die Altersspanne der teilnehmenden Kinder und Jugendlichen. Geleitet wurde die Spielgruppe , wie sie genannt wurde, von einer Heilpädagogin mit zusätzlicher Qualifikation in diesem Bereich. Die Beobachtung, dass die Kinder in von ihnen inszenierten psychodramatischen Spielen mit so viel Begeisterung und Freude agierten und solch eine Energie und Intensität in das Spiel ihrer Themen legten, hat mich sehr beeindruckt. Es war faszinierend zu beobachten, wie die Kinder an Konfliktthemen arbeiteten und trotzdem viel Spaß am Spiel hatten. Während dieser Zeit ließen sich auch bei einzelnen Kindern und Jugendlichen immer wieder Veränderungen großer und kleiner Art, sowohl im Handeln, als auch im Spiel selbst, feststellen. Diese Eindrücke gaben den Anstoß, mich im Rahmen dieser Diplomarbeit genauer mit den Annahmen und Anwendungen des Psychodramas als Methode in der pädagogischen Arbeit mit auffälligen Kindern und Jugendlichen zu beschäftigen. Aber nicht nur mein persönliches Interesse, sondern auch die gesellschaftlich akute Problemlage dieser Zielgruppe war ausschlaggebend, mich mit dieser Thematik genauer zu beschäftigen. Bedingt durch einen niedrigen sozialökonomischen Standard, allgemeinen gesellschaftlichen Umbrüchen, veränderten familiären Rahmenbedingungen, steigenden Anforderungen (bspw. in der Schule) an Kinder und Jugendliche und neuen Lebens- und Familienformen steigt die Zahl an auffälligen Kindern und Jugendlichen in Deutschland stetig an. Aktuelle Studien zeigen, dass bei ca. 22 Prozent der untersuchten Kinder und Jugendlichen Hinweise auf psychische Auffälligkeiten vorliegen. Auch in weiten Teilen der Bevölkerung geht, mit der gestiegenen und stetig wachsenden Anzahl an auffälligen Kindern und Jugendlichen, die Forderung nach wirksamen und angemessenen Konzepten und Methoden einher, die speziell auf die Bedürfnisse und Anforderungen dieser Zielgruppe ausgerichtet sind. Eine adäquate Antwort hierauf stellt meiner Ansicht nach das [...] |
| psychodrama download: Scenarios of the Imaginary Josue V. Harari, 2019-06-30 From Proust to Beckett, from Blanchot to Derrida from Freud to Lacan, and from Lévi-Strauss to René Girard, all of our theories of modernity have been predicated upon a nostalgia for the real. In this lively and perceptive diagnosis of the malaise of contemporary theorists, Josué Harari interprets the French Enlightenment in terms of the relationship between theory and the imaginary, and explores the paradox by which theories that purport to describe the real lack any dimension of reality. Through readings of texts by some of the progenitors of influential modem theories, Harari explores the working strategies of the imaginary. In particular, he illuminates the founding moment, an instant of personal crisis for the author, during which a theory is infused by a fictional scenario: Montesquieu's phantasm of the body, resulting in his theory of government; Rousseau's narcissistic delirium in Emile, resulting in his theory of education; the theory of psychoanalysis, resulting from Freud's unconscious motives for choosing the Oedipal theory over the seduction theory of neurosis; and the theory of structural anthropology, generated by a psychodrama in Tristes Tropiques which Harari reads as a symptom of Lévi-Strauss's anguish when he is confronted with reality. Two striking chapters on Sade at the center of the book reveal the operation of the theoretical imaginary in libertine discourse. Scenarios of the Imaginary will find a wide audience among students and scholars of French literature, particularly of the eighteenth century, and of contemporary French thought, and among comparativists, literary theorists, anthropologists, and historians. |
| psychodrama download: The Two-Character Play Tennessee Williams, 1979-01-17 A classic play by Tennessee Williams in a definitive, author-approved edition. Reality and fantasy are interwoven with terrifying power as two actors on tour—brother and sister—find themselves deserted by the trope in a decrepit state theatre in an unknown state. Faced (perhaps) by an audience expecting a performance, they enact The Two-Character Play—an illusions within an illusion, and out cry from isolation, panic and fear. I think it is my most beautiful play since Streetcar, Tennessee Williams said, and I've never stopped working on it....It is a cri de coeur, but then all creative work,all life, in a sense is a cri de coeur. In the course of its evolution, several earlier versions of The Two-Character Play have been produced. The first of them was presented in 1967 in London and Chicago and brought out in 1969 by New Directions in a signed limited edition. The next, staged in 1973 in New York under the title Out Cry, was published by New Directions in 1973 The third version (New York, 1975), again titled The Two-Character Play, is the one Tennessee Williams wished to include in New Directions' The Theatre of Tennessee Williams series. It is this version which is presented in this ND paperback. |

| psychodrama download: Outline Rachel Cusk, 2015-01-13 A Finalist for the Folio Prize, the Goldsmiths Prize, the Scotiabank Giller Prize, and the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction. One of The New York Times' Top Ten Books of the Year. Named a A New York Times Book Review Notable Book and a Best Book of the Year by The New Yorker, Vogue, NPR, The Guardian, The Independent, Glamour, and The Globe and Mail A luminous, powerful novel that establishes Rachel Cusk as one of the finest writers in the English language A man and a woman are seated next to each other on a plane. They get to talking—about their destination, their careers, their families. Grievances are aired, family tragedies discussed, marriages and divorces analyzed. An intimacy is established as two strangers contrast their own fictions about their lives. Rachel Cusk's Outline is a novel in ten conversations. Spare and stark, it follows a novelist teaching a course in creative writing during one oppressively hot summer in Athens. She leads her students in storytelling exercises. She meets other visiting writers for dinner and discourse. She goes swimming in the Ionian Sea with her neighbor from the plane. The people she encounters speak volubly about themselves: their fantasies, anxieties, pet theories, regrets, and longings. And through these disclosures, a portrait of the narrator is drawn by contrast, a portrait of a woman learning to face a great loss. Outline takes a hard look at the things that are hardest to speak about. It brilliantly captures conversations, investigates people's motivations for storytelling, and questions their ability to ever do so honestly or unselfishly. In doing so it bares the deepest impulses behind the craft of fiction writing. This is Rachel Cusk's finest work yet, and one of the most startling, brilliant, original novels of recent years. |

| psychodrama download: Rewriting Indie Cinema J. J. Murphy, 2019-04-16 Most films rely on a script developed in pre-production. Yet beginning in the 1950s and continuing through the recent mumblecore movement, key independent filmmakers have broken with the traditional screenplay. Instead, they have turned to new approaches to scripting that allow for more complex characterization and shift the emphasis from the page to performance. In Rewriting Indie Cinema, J. J. Murphy explores these alternative forms of scripting and how they have shaped American film from the 1950s to the present. He traces a strain of indie cinema that used improvisation and psychodrama, a therapeutic form of improvised acting based on a performer’s own life experiences. Murphy begins in the 1950s and 1960s with John Cassavetes, Shirley Clarke, Barbara Loden, Andy Warhol, Norman Mailer, William Greaves, and other independent directors who sought to create a new type of narrative cinema. In the twenty-first century, filmmakers such as Gus Van Sant, the Safdie brothers, Joe Swanberg, and Sean Baker developed similar strategies, sometimes benefitting from the freedom of digital technology. In reading key films and analyzing their techniques, Rewriting Indie Cinema demonstrates how divergence from the script has blurred the divide between fiction and nonfiction. Showing the ways in which filmmakers have striven to capture the subtleties of everyday behavior, Murphy provides a new history of American indie filmmaking and how it challenges Hollywood industrial practices. |
