The Heart And Soul Of Psychotherapy: A Transpersonal Approach Through Theater Arts

Synopsis

This book offers an innovative approach to healing and transformation through application of the 12 transpersonal drama therapy principles. It demonstrates a host of therapeutic techniques integrating the arts with meditation as clients heal traumatic memories and shift their identities from a conditioned, limited sense of self to the essential Self, or soul Self.

Thirty-nine of Ms. Linden’s students and colleagues demonstrate how they have applied the 12 principles to a wide array of populations in need. Collectively, they have reached all ages, many diverse backgrounds, and a range of life circumstances and health conditions -- in private practice, community-based organizations, institutions, events, disaster relief and international venues. Throughout the 30 years of the formal life of the dramatherapy profession, Saphira and her colleagues have been gradually building and developing an integrated, profound, joyous, and generative practice through Omega Theater and ’s Drama Therapy Training Institute, and this book is a culminating demonstration of this amazing work and these amazing people.

Their work is built on strong foundations, represented by the wonderful forwards by Zerka Moreno, Ellen Burstyn, and Pir Zia Inayat Khan. They are the roots... Saphira is the trunk... and the chapters are the bloom, of the transpersonal approach to psychotherapy integrating the arts. It has been a privilege for me to witness this process unfold and now to benefit from the remarkable work described in this book.
