Foundations of Psychodrama: History, Theory, and Practice, 4th Edition

by Adam Blatner MD

A companion to his now-classic Acting-In (Springer, 1996), Foundations of Psychodrama presents a framework for integrating psychodrama with other methods of practice. The third edition, developed from a 1985 monograph, had wide appeal to students and practitioners of psychodrama as well as functioning as a fresh stimulus to psychotherapy, education, pastoral counseling, and other helping roles. This fourth edition takes account of the increasing work in the field in the 12 years since the last edition and includes a good deal of new material designed to present a more specific rationale for the use of psychodramatic methods while constructing a more logical sequence of events. Dr. Blatner has made a great book even better.

I have perused several of Adam Blatner's books but this time I took the time to closely read the entire book. I find this author very articulate and well organized. He seems to have a heart for psychodrama and he wants very much to champion this discipline. The book was divided into five parts which included the historical foundations, the philosophical foundations, the psychological foundations,the social foundations and the practical foundations of psychodrama. I found myself inspired to be more spontaneous and creative in my work and play with other people. I also re-discovered some insight for facilitating interactions in groups that I intend to use in the near future.
