Seit den Arbeiten des Psychodrama-Gründers J. L. Moreno hat sich das Psychodrama stetig weiterentwickelt. Dennoch fehlt, so die These des Autors, eine aktuellen Ansprüchen genügende genuin psychodramatische Therapietheorie. Er entwickelt in diesem Buch ein zeitgemäßes Störungsverständnis sowie ein Modell therapeutischer Prozesse, um daraus spezifische Therapiestrategien abzuleiten. Diese werden an vielen Fallbeispielen erläutert. Verfahrensübergreifend zeigt der Verfasser Verbindungen zu aktuellen psychotherapeutischen Ansätzen auf. Er betont die Integrationskraft des Psychodramas, das in der aktuellen Therapielandschaft spezifische Akzente setzen kann. So ist das Buch nicht nur für PsychodramatikerInnen von Interesse, sondern für alle in beraterischen und therapeutischen Berufsfeldern Tätigen, die sich über aktuelle Entwicklungen jenseits des eigenen verfahrensspezifischen Tellerrands informieren möchten und Hilfen für ihre praktische Arbeit suchen.

Summary
Analysis of the architecture, iconography, and spatial relations that constitute the town hall to explore its historical ability to accommodate the "public" in different political and social contexts
Report
"Contributors offer valuable discussion of the post-WW II German Rathaus as an attempt to deal with an "uncertain" national identity and provide a good examination of architecture in the service of Mussolini's Fascist state. A welcome global approach that features material on Bombay, Jakarta, Mexico, and Korea is revealing, especially on the influence of colonialism; however, more could have been said about sources of indigenous, pre-European civic engagement. Endnotes and numerous, adequate, black-and-white illustrations are provided but no bibliography. Although this volume shows the inevitable fragmentation typical of such an enterprise, the attention to unfamiliar themes and innovative approaches means that this book will interest serious students of civic architecture.Summing Up: Recommended" --W. S. Rodner, Tidewater Community Colleg, CHOICE Reviews, January 2015
