Peter Felix Kellermann is a clinical psychologist who qualified as a practitioner at the Moreno Institute, New York. He teaches psychodrama in Israel and around the world. He is the co-editor of Psychodrama with Trauma Survivors, also published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers.
The contributors to this book provide persuasive evidence of how
psychodrama can safely be used to create paths of change for even
the most severe traumatization. They discuss the possible
transmission of trauma patters across generations. Using
psychodrama, they create a place to act out unprocessed trauma
within the containment of therapy, in order to stop the obsessive
repetition of the past.
*The Bulletin of the British Psychodrama Association*
This well-known and respected textbook is for all students and
practitioners of psychodrama seeking to extend their knowledge. The
author provides a comprehensive overview of the theory and practice
of psychodrama, presenting a systematic analysis of its essential
therapeutic ingredients.
*The Bulletin of the British Psychodrama Association*
With this volume his ingenious and highly original work will not
only help create a sounder conceptual basis for psychodrama
therapy, it will also establish Kellermann as one of a precious
handful of significant thinkers on the foundations of
psychodrama.
*from the Foreword*
The wide-ranging knowledge and experience that Kellermann
demonstrates is impressive, and the results of these explorations
are often convincing... this is an important book. Not an easy one
perhaps, but one which addresses difficult and complex issues and
will hopefully stimulate further structured thinking about the
therapeutic factors in psychodrama.
*Journal of the British Psychodrama Association*
... this work shows evidence of a good deal of thought and effort
and raises some very interesting points.
*Contemporary Psychology*
Buy it! This is an excellent book on psychodrama written by one of
the few true scholars in our field - the work of J L Moreno is
being productively expounded by rigorous, original analyses of
psychodramatic theory represented in Kellerman's work. A
particularly useful inclusion in the book is the "Psychodrama
Director Processing Checklist"... the book is eminently
buyable.
*BPA Journal*
This is an extremely wide-ranging and perceptive study which
provides a detailed overview of the theories supporting the
therapeutic claims made for psychodrama. There is much here that
the drama/theatre worker could draw upon in non-clinical contexts
particularly in the search for answers to the vexing question of
precisely how people learn through imagined experience.
