Dramatherapy: Clinical Studies

Dramatherapy: Clinical Studies

by SteveMitchell (Editor)

Synopsis

Showing how dramatherapy is used in practice in work with different client groups, Dramatherapy: Clinical Studies is intended for both students and practising dramatherapists. It includes both case studies of dramatherapy as it actually works and descriptions of group work. Illustrating the challenge of putting a particular methodology into practice when working with specific client groups, the book demonstrates particular frameworks around which to base an approach, without prescribing pre-set work formats.

Each contributor places his or her working method within a particular theoretical orientation and provides valuable insights into how this philosophy works in action. All the contributors are trained dramatherapists currently active in the clinical field about which they are writing.

Media Reviews
`This volume has many strengths. It provides the reader with an experiential awareness of the process and techniques of dramatherapy. If you are looking for works that reject the current fad of reductionism, this book is worth careful scrutiny. -- Contemporary Psychology
`Dramatherapy Clinical Studies is a fabulous contribution to our literature-hungry profession - brings together the work of twelve innovative drama therapists... Each author's theoretical perspective is richly illustrated with case studies. The authors define and describe the basis of drama therapy with various populations in clear clinical terms... This book's authors ask important questions that we all need to ask ourselves...a rich and practical resource... Dramatherapy - Clinical Studies is an excellent companion for therapists in training as well as those currently in practice... Each chapter provided me with useful, inspiring information. It reaffirmed my own work. It is an exceptional book which will inspire all creative therapists who are grappling with the health care crisis and wanting to continue to provide the gift of change for all those in need.' -- Dramascope
