Bridging psychotherapy, social sciences, and activism, the volume introduces innovative approaches to addressing collective trauma, social justice, and climate resilience in Latin America. With a strong focus on vulnerable populations, intersectionality and large-group interventions, this book redefines psychodrama as a dynamic tool for healing and social transformation. It uniquely integrates Jungian and archetypal perspectives with psychodrama, while highlighting its applications in Latin America’s diverse cultural and social contexts. It pioneers the use of psychodrama in climate justice, collective trauma, and community mobilization—extending its relevance from clinical practice to education, emergency settings, and grassroots activism. Through case studies, practical tools, and theoretical insights, the book examines key themes such as gender, race, resilience, and the psychological impacts of ecological and social crises. Ideal for psychodrama practitioners, therapists, educators, social workers, and activists, this volume is accessible to both beginners and experienced professionals. It is a must-read for those engaged in therapeutic innovation, human rights, and transformative social change.
