The Inner World Outside: Object Relations Theory and Psychodrama

This is a reprint of a book first published in 1993. It is designed to give an overview of the Object Relations Theory in psychotherapy, and to allow readers to use the theory to analyze the sorts of theatrical scenes that are employed by therapists doing psychodrama. The book’s purpose is to connect the theories of J.L. Moreno, who invented psychodrama therapy, with the theories of Sigmund Freud. Each chapter begins with an example psychodrama scene (written in narrative rather than dialogue format) which is then analyzed. In this edition, a new introduction by the author connects his synthesis to Attachment Theory. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
