The open access book explains the practical approach in psychodrama with the help of
multidisciplinary theories of self-development mentalization play and psychosomatic
resonance. These theories help to structure the therapeutic experiences of Moreno and other
psychodramatists and to compare them with experiences and theories of other psychotherapy
methods. Against this background the author develops models of a disorder-specific psychodrama
therapy for people with personality disorders borderline organization trauma disorders
anxiety disorders obsessive-compulsive disorders depression grief reactions suicidal crises
masochism psychoses addiction disorders eating disorders and behavioral addictions. The
therapy models convey a deep understanding of these disorders and sometimes open up new ways of
treatment. They can be used both in individual and in group therapy. The methods are explained
with the help of more than 120 case examples. The theoretical explanation makes the
psychodramatic action methods accessible and applicable to therapists from other schools of
therapy as well as in counseling and coaching. This makes the practical work therapeutically
more effective and creative. This is an open access book.
