Rezensionen
This second edition of Acting for Real is a luminescent polishing of one of the field's core texts. Dr. Emunah's many decades of experience as clinician and teacher lend substance, intelligence, and humility. Developmentally sequenced organization of methods are conceptualized within a humane, rational, and culturally competent framework. It's rare that a second edition is so much more valuable than the first, but such is the case here! This book will be a primary reference for drama therapists across the globe.

David Read Johnson, PhD, RDT, BCT, co-director, New Haven Post-Traumatic Stress Center; associate clinical professor, department of psychiatry, Yale University School of Medicine



Acting for Real presents an all-encompassing arc of drama therapy, from a therapeutic art to an understanding of the neuroscience of changes in the brain from experience. With a heart-warming style of writing that draws the reader to want to go onto the next chapter, Dr. Emunah offers an excellent progressive structure for using drama therapy. The book will also bring you to tears as you read about the author's work with people. A must-have book for anyone seeking to use experiential methods in therapy or for societal change.

Kate Hudgins, PhD, TEP, Author, Experiential Treatment for PTSD: The Therapeutic Spiral, and Healing World Trauma with the Therapeutic Spiral Model

Drama therapy transcends ordinary psychotherapy! This book merits being used by all drama therapists, psychodramatists, and creative arts therapists.

Adam Blatner, MD, child psychiatrist; author, Acting-In and Foundations of Psychodrama

Dr. Emunah's clinical work inspires me to integrate drama into my own practice and teaching, for it clearly fosters vulnerability, authenticity, mindfulness, empathic connection, and the courage to change. This book also depicts the use of drama to foster well-being and inclusion outside of clinical arenas, including acting against injustice, thereby creating a healing force for community.
