 Scifi and Fantasy Forum: Television: Riverworld
Mixing historical figures and pure imagination like no one else, legendary author Philip José Farmer launched his "Riverworld" series with the novelette "The Day of the Great Shout" in the January 1965 issue of Worlds of Tomorrow.
This SCI FI Pictures telefilm is based on the first two novels of Farmer's remarkable saga — which, by 1993, included 10 novels, short-story collections and such books of miscellanea as Riverworld War: The Suppressed Fiction of Philip José Farmer (a collection that includes a chapter which was cut from the fourth novel).
The warlord Valdemar (the late Kevin Smith of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess, in his final role) thunders in with an army, to announce that he is the ruler of Riverworld and that the newcomers are to be soldiers, workers or slaves.

 Psychiatric Times
Providentially, I discovered the World of Tiers book series by Philip José Farmer.
Farmer, inspired by this therapeutic approach, wrote another book in the series, Red Orc's Rage, which projected fictionalized group-therapy patients into the World of Tiers (Farmer, 1991).
Other worlds could equally serve as performance stages for this inward psychodrama of the mind, as they are also populated with characters drawn in archetypal primary colors that accented the finer shades of the patient's motivation and conflict.
