Psychodrama with Children

In this book, Hanna Kende uses her wealth of experience to explain how psychodrama can allow psychotherapists to fundamentally change their relationships with children presenting with psychosocial, mental, or behavioural problems.

'Hanna Kende, the pioneer of the Child Psychodrama movement in Hungary, has created a masterpiece. I highly recommend it as an invaluable guide and support for all therapists working with children.' - Alfons Aichinger, founder of the German Child Psychodrama and author of several books
