Persona and Performance: The Meaning of Role in Drama, Therapy, and Everyday Life
This book demonstrates that drama is not only a metaphor for everyday life, but also provides a means of self-examination and life enhancement. The volume combines theoretical discussions with extensive clinical illustrations, and covers issues including learning to live with role ambivalence, complexity, and contradiction. Asserting that emotional well-being depends upon an individual's capacity to manage a complex and often contradictory set of roles, the author shows how role offers a uniquely effective method for working through significant personal problems when used as an element of drama therapy.
