"Acting Your Inner Music" is an excellent addition to the
library of the creative arts therapist. Like a flowing jazz
composition, it seamlessly blends information how psychodrama, an
action method developed by Joseph Moreno's uncle, Dr. J.L. Moreno, can
be enhanced and deepened by the use of music as well as many engaging
stories and observations from the author's work with music and healing
from around the world.

Psychodramatists will find many ideas to
introduce or expand the use of music in their sessions. Music
therapists, even those who are not trained in psychodrama, can adapt
some of the techniques in working with their clients; art and dance
therapists can draw upon many of the ideas and there are many
applications for others involved in group work including guided
imagery, improvisation and musical dialog. Musicians, artists and
theater people who know little about psychodrama -- or want to know
more -- will find stimulation for improvisation and connecting with
their audiences.

The content of this book is good, but I was a little shocked when it arrived. It is a VERY thin, small book that cost me $23.00! It seems a little steep to me. Yes, the text is very small, so there is a lot in the book, but sheesh!
