Analysis of theater has also produced Goffman's dramaturgical vision of reality, in which people are beset with performance problems including defining situations, forming teams, casting roles, and managing discrediting information. A dramaturgical understanding of psychotherapy is articulated in this book, with a focus on living up to situational norms intrinsic to therapy and managing performance failures associated with the roles of therapist and patient. Norms derive from rules and categories-in society and in therapy-that help people know how to behave, but which also produce self-serving hegemonies of privilege and power, even in therapy.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Deadly Therapy explores the implications of a dramaturgical approach to the therapy encounter and uses lessons from the theater to illustrate how to enliven psychotherapy. Every psychotherapy is an interpersonal system in which power and privilege lead to self-serving rules and categories that marginalize aspects of the system that are out of step with the 'party line.' Performance theory-encompassing audience engagement, dramaturgy, gender studies, power and privilege dynamics, critical thinking, and multiculturalism-has much to teach about subverting party lines and empowering the stigmatized and voiceless aspects of therapy and supervisory systems.…
