Theory and Practice of Action and Drama Techniques: Developmental Psychotherapy from an Existential-Dialectical Viewpoint

In this text, the author takes an existential-dialectical approach to developmental psychology, developing a personality model and showing how it can be applied in practice through psychodrama, videofeedback and creative playtherapy. In the first section, she defines her approach in philosophical and clinical terms. In the second, she explains how psychodramatic principles can be applied when working therapeutically with groups and individuals, focusing on the treatment of children and adolescents who suffer from developmental disorders, drug addiction and self-esteem problems.
