This book consists of ten case histories that cover a wide range of
themes from obesity to depression. One woman is trying to come to grips
with past memories, another cannot escape from a passionate love with no
future, an adolescent immigrant is trying to overcome a persistent
stammer, a fifty-year-old man decides to separate from the love of his
life rather than compromise with his principles. Writing in the first
person, the dramatherapist describes her reactions to and interaction
with the client as well as some of the techniques used in the
therapeutic process. The stories are based on real cases, but in order
to conform to the story-telling genre they contain a beginning, middle
and end, which is not always the case in real life.
