• Sommario/riassunto: This unprecedented book provides clinicians, educators, and trainers with knowledge-based and skill-based competencies in group improvisation leadership and a suggested sequence for instruction in these specific competencies. The competencies pinpointed fall into three categories: Preparatory Skills (before the improvisation), Facilitative Skills (during the improvisation), and Verbal Processing Skills (after the improvisation). The book contains clinical vignettes and 80 exercises designed to reinforce competency in the aforementioned areas. (
