Product Description
In its fully revised second edition, this book is devoted solely to the study of sociodrama, a group learning process, that provides practice in solving problems of human relations through action while uncovering the commonalities among people, allowing the thoughts, feelings, and hopes of all who participate to rise to the surface. This insightful guide helps participants in group work to come to a new understanding about themselves, each other, and the world at large by providing a living laboratory for practicing new and more satisfying ways to approach problems, clarify values, express feelings, and practice new behaviors. The theoretical and practical guidance offered in this book will help management and staff trainers, educators, psychotherapists, sociologists, theatre artists, pastoral counselors, and others in, or planning on joining, the help professions to provide a vital modality for energizing even the most passive groups.

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing resource, July 14, 2006

By	Paul J. Lesnik (West Palm Beach, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Sociodrama: Who's in Your Shoes? is an amazing resource for clinician and teacher alike. I have used it in both capacities with measurable, often cathartic results. An excellent introduction with valauble exercises to use in many settings. Highly recommended. Paul J Lesnik, LCSW

5.0 out of 5 stars a must read for anyone using sociodrama, June 29, 2008

By	Nancy Sondag - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I used Sociodrama: Who's In Your Shoes? for the textbook for the graduate course I taught at Kansas State University. It was the textbook when Patricia Sternberg taught the course at Hunter. The authors, Patricia Sternber and Antonina Garcia are master practitioners and trainers. No one explains sociodrama better. In this book, they have shown how sociodrama can be a valuable tool for therapists, educators, and trainers. This is a truly inspiring and comprehensible read.
