From Father to Daughter
The Play of Life is a unique method of psychotherapy created by Argentinian psychiatrist and psychodramatist Dr. Carlos A Raimundo. Developed as a tool for transformative emotional and relational work, the method is now guided by his daughter, Melanie Raimundo, the Director of Active Learning International—the umbrella organisation behind the Play of Life.
Carlos and Melanie have facilitated workshops and training of the method together for over a decade. Carlos' life's mission for helping people live happier lives has transferred to Melanie and their shared passion for the Play of Life remains as strong as ever, ensuring its continued impact and evolution.
