Role PlayingAbstract
The authors of this book address those who might want to apply psychodramatic methods in business, education, and personal and community development. They have been active for many years in the field of creativity studies, a tradition that has paralleled the use of psychodrama in psychotherapy-- closer to sociodrama and Moreno's hope that his methods might be used in the service of "sociatry," the healing and development of society in general. Because Torrance, Murdock, and Fletcher have operated outside the field of psychodrama, yet have remained sympathetic with its ideals, their approach offers some interesting viewpoints that complement the writings from within psychodrama's "mainstream."
