WHEN IS A DIRECTOR NOT A DIRECTOR? WHEN HE IS A PROT AGONIST! (REACTIONS TO A SESSION ON THERAPIST RESISTANCE, ANNUAL MEETING, ASGPP, 1967)

Abstract

There can only be one "legitimate" protagonist at a time and the psychodrama is the story of his life. (Through identification, members of the audience and auxiliaries may share much of the essence of the drama as it evolves, but this remains the protagonist's story, for it is his life which gives it unity and coherence.)
