Practical Approaches to Dramatherapy - The Shield of Perseus (Paperback)

This book is derived from the authors' experiences of working with dramatherapy in a range of different situations. It focuses on the flexibility of the applications of dramatherapeutic principles. The book provides an account of the history, theory and practice of drama and its therapeutic use. The authors explain the shape of a session, hwo dramatherapy works, and how it can be interpreted via myth, symbol and psychological theory. Work with individuals and groups is described, as are sessions with masks, improvisation and use of scripts. The reader is encouraged to incorporate dramatherapy skills into a variety of existing ways of working: for example, in social skills groups, assertiveness training and anger management. The book highlights the potential scope of dramatherapy and provides practical examples and advice.
