ABSTRACT
Psychiatry means healing the psyche or soul that belongs to an individual human being, i.e., a person, with a body and a capacity for acting, feeling, emoting and speaking, perceived by the five senses or imagined, ‘seen by the mind’s eye, in images of dreams and daydreams. Since the total person appears before us with all the characteristics, an all-in-one package, I ask: How is it that psychiatry has lost its psyche? Dramatology approaches human encounters, events, and scenes as dramatic enactments of characters in conflict and crisis. Dramatology comprises two forms: dramatization in thought and emotion that involves images and scenes lived in memories, dreams, daydreams, fantasy scenarios and dramatization in act. This paper is a continuation of Lothane [1]
