Drama as a meaning maker Book

A collection of over forty articles originally presented at a symposium at Rutgers University Graduate School of Education. Prominent theatre and drama specialists were invited to respond to papers by three nationally recognized scholars in related fields. Karl Pribram, noted neuropsychologist, M.D., author and professor at the Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University, discusses 'Brain and Meaning.' Author and cultural commentator Jamake Highwater speaks about 'Meaning and the Child' from the point of view of a native American. And Jon Klimo, poet, author, psychologist and professor at the Rosebridge Institute Graduate School of Integrative Psychology, presents the final major paper, 'The Lucid and the Ludic: Toward a Metaphysics of Meaning Making.' The book also contains papers delivered in four discussion groups which followed each presentation, together with a summary of each group discussion so that the reader may enjoy the same intellectual dialogue as the participants.
