PsychodramaAbstract
In 1973, Marcia Karp moved from America to England, where she and her husband, Ken Sprague, established the first ongoing training institute there. By 1980, her first students were being graduated, and they formed the core of what became the British Psychodrama Association. Since then, seven other training programs have been formed. In the early 1990s, Karp began a fruitful collaboration with Paul Holmes, a London psychiatrist, editing anthologies of papers on psychodrama.
