In this update of a popular text, Leveton draws from the works of Moreno, Erickson, Satir, and Perls. She fashions a psychodramatic approach that will help therapists practice more effective group work. New to this edition is material on drama therapy and supervision in institutional settings.


"...a delightful and informative journey into a world of psychodrama for both the experienced and newly-trained timid clinician. Ms. Leveton has clearly vitalized the use of psychodrama."
