Firstly, it incorporates the physiology of the work of psychodrama in a new, comprehensive way that I do not think has been done before. Secondly, the examination of asthma through case studies identifies and challenges the co-dependency between medicine and the pharmaceutical industry. This is done with humility but with the rigour of a scientifically trained medical practitioner using his knowledge, professional experience and rational deduction. Thirdly, there is a memoir aspect to the writing, stepping the reader through the authors thinking, complex medical concepts and procedures described to be understandable for people with no medical or related knowledge. The style is lyrical and entertaining. Read over coffee or tea and one can almost imagine chatting and laughing with the author.It is useful to consider the method Peter has used to reach his conclusions. Peter is at the end of his career. He was trained in the scientific method. He is well used to using facts/known knowledge, critiquing research and the conclusions drawn and distinguish knowledge carefully from suppositions. He brings this to his medical practice, combined with the wisdom of medical staff from yesteryear: Listen to the patient. Additionally he explores the placebo effect and the adjunct effects of medical and pharmacological treatment, such as being attended to, plus kind and loving attention. He combines scientifically known knowledge and logical thinking/discussion to see and name/create a range of hypotheses, which he then tests. I love the discussion of the alveoli sphincters: ‘I … can’t imagine that the body… (has) 800,000 very intricate and complicated sets of muscles and glands, for the sole purpose of making a disease called asthma. It just does not make sense.’ I have never considered how many alveoli I have, yet my life is dependent on the healthy functioning of them for the psychosomatic role of healthy strong vigorous breather! Rigorous use of logical deduction is a strength to Peter’s discussion.I found the theme of adrenal exhaustion/depletion and stimulating the adrenal matrix intriguing. The blood levels of adrenalin in people attending accident and emergency departments has been measured, and most people attending have high levels of adrenalin. However people with asthma unexpectedly have very low levels. The first response to such information is to assume that this is an aspect of the illness to be corrected by medical intervention. However, Peter kept asking important questions and made unexpected links. Specifically that people with asthma may have excellent reasons to have ‘turned off’ their adrenal matrix. During psychodrama enactment, Peter and his trainers identified body responses consistent with adrenal collapse or turnoff, and that with integrative catharsis the adrenal matrix can be stimulated back into action. A stunning example is described on page 169: ‘Pat’s 5’3” being had … been totally regressed to the terrified and wheezing 11 year old… She took an enormous breath.’ It is special that Peter knows what is happening in the body: it takes about 30 seconds for the blood to circulate around the body, so it takes about 30 seconds ‘for her to turn from wheezing, pale and blueish to bright scarlet … and scream HELL NO.’ He sees evidence of the adrenal system being turned on. This woman’s asthma was cured. She now supplied her own adrenalin.This book is so much more than Asthma and wheezing. I would like a sub-title to the book to warm potential readers to the treasure trove of psychodramatic experience and wisdom that Peter shares. Such subtitles could be ‘Development of fierce lion self protecter roles’, or ‘Reactivating the adrenal matrix through psychodramatic evocation of integrative catharsis’! But this would exclude warming up potential readers to the outcome of Peter’s endeavours.Acutely aware of the need to measure effectiveness of psychodrama, Peter has computerised the Family/Whanau/Social Atom. This enables clients to review how their relationships are changing to include more good people in their lives while setting limits and distancing unwanted people. Carefully stepping the reader through the process with many examples, Peter demonstrates graphing a person’s responses to psychodrama sessions and the related role development. Points such as when there is no suicide risk and when the person is ready to be discharged are identified. This section invites a sub-title such as ‘Outcome informed practice in Psychodrama’.This book is an exceptional addition to psychodrama’s body of work. If you are exploring psychosomatic roles you need to read this book. If you are needing to demonstrate the effectiveness of your practice, and you are working individual people or people in group, you will do well to explore the family/whanau/social atom scorer.
