Störungsspezifische Psychodramatherapie (eBook)

Psychodrama heals by affecting the mentalization and psychological self organisation of the individual in the as-if mode of play on the stage, in a room or around a table. Based on this insight, the author develops both a systematic theory of disorder-specific Psychodrama therapy and models for therapy processes applicable to individuals with personality disorders, post traumatic disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, depressions, psychoses and addictions. He demonstrates the theory and therapy processes by reference to 114 case studies some of which amount to complete therapy courses.When Psychodrama is understood as mentalization based theory (MBT) , the cross-disciplinary concept of mentalization becomes applicable in new ways. Psychodrama implements the tools of mentalization as play techniques. Conceptualised in this way, Psychodrama regains primacy and ownership over the definition of its therapeutic techniques. The approach taken by this textbook makes the many experiences and insights of psychodrama therapy accessible to therapists of others therapy schools as well as for consultants in the helping professions.
