Interested in playback theatre and/or psychodrama? Read it!

This is not a study book, anyone interested in light reading but with interest in playback theatre or searching to expand their psychodrama-techniques repertoire, should read this easy to read book. The feeling of a playback theatre performance touches you while reading, you have read the book in two hours but will grab it several times to refind the inspiration of it. If you are realy looking for a studies and more comprehensive book on the subject try "acts of service, spontanaity and commitment in improvisational theatre" " of J Fox, if not try this one first
