From Doing to Being - Interactions, emotions, relationships, and consciousness: steps in the psychodramatic approach towards understanding human identity

Abstract

A scientific theoretical study. The world is currently experiencing a lengthy period of prolonged, intense, and - in various respects - dramatic restrictions. Intended to contain the everspreading pandemic, these restrictions are impacting on our movements and our social interaction. This situation, however, can be taken as an opportunity to develop theories, thoughts, and insights into the origins and the processes by which human identity form. Over the following pages, we will examine the complex, fascinating pathway that leads from the body to the mind, from action to thought, through the various dimensions of psychism (primarily: perception, emotion, and consciousness).
