Changing Face - Psychodrama in Taiwan, Republic of China

Abstract

IN TAIPEI, TAIWAN, it is late October, and summer is fading. The combination of warmth and the green, lush bamboo is welcoming. We
are met by rains from the typhoon as we weave through the many, many people crowding the sidewalks of central Taipei, capital of Taiwan. With as many motorcycles as people ahead, it is difficult to move. Evening noodle vendors compete with McDonald's, filling the air with a strange mixture of old and new fast foods. Whoever said fast food is a modern invention is wrong. These activities have been going on here for hundreds of years.
