"Anyone who hates children can't be all bad," a line credited to the great W. C. Fields, has a logic in its humor. Whoever has not felt like screaming back at the little monsters has either never experienced their insistent misbehavior or is a saint or a liar. Joyce Hayden-Seman is none of these and consequently has written a marvelous book for psychodramatists, one that is really down in the trenches with us. Although she limits her scope to psychodrama's application in couples therapy, much of what she offers is applicable to all our psychodramatic work.
