Psychodrama: A Creative Method to Survive and Thrive

by Hod Orkibi

About this book

Hod Orkibi introduces psychodrama as a method that uses enacted situations, improvisation, and relationships to explore experience. Beginning with its origins and Jacob L. Moreno’s experiments, the book explains the roles of spontaneity, creativity, and encounter, then sets out the structure and principal techniques of a psychodrama session.

Later sections examine positive psychodrama and the research used to investigate outcomes and processes of change. Orkibi discusses study design, fidelity, possible bias, moderators and mediators, and proposed mechanisms such as nonverbal synchrony. Historical explanation, practical concepts, and a review of the evidence give readers a substantial introduction to this creative approach.
