Compare Therapy As A Performance Art by Henry Abramovitch, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Abramovitch explores the performance aspects of therapy and analysis, going against the tradition of therapeutic discourse in which a narrative is based on specific vignettes chosen to present a theoretical agenda. This view of the therapeutic experience allows random or chance-based occurrences to come to the fore, and challenges the participants to think in new and unexpected ways. Covering aspects of the encounter including nonverbal behaviour, creating a part in the therapeutic drama, setting the stage for therapy and moving the clinic, and including case material throughout, Abramovitch's book enriches our view of the therapeutic experience. | Therapy As A Performance Art by Henry Abramovitch, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
