PsychotherapyAbstract
A few years ago at a meeting, I attended a session directed by Dr. Tomasulo and was quite caught up in his enthusiasm for employing action methods to a rather neglected population, the severely mentally retarded. In this book, he has embodied and extended the ideas he was developing at that time and, in particular, has reached out to practitioners working with those populations to familiarize them with action methods. The author seems to have been motivated by his awareness that many clinicians stumble into role playing to amplify their work, not being well oriented by the body of extant knowledge that could help them succeed.
