The author shows how drama therapy draws on both drama and ritual.
He argues that personal construct theory provides a hermeneutically
useful approach to the study of drama therapy. He shows that drama
therapy itself is an effective treatment for depression and
schizophrenia, having a measurable effect on thought disorder; he
thus tries to be as definite as possible about a subject which
resists the 'scientific' apporach, and he is concerned not only to
think rationally about drama therapy, but to examine the specific
relationship between rational thought and artistic experience which
allows the second to act as the mediator of the first. In Part One,
the author investigates the therapeutic origins of theatre before
moving on to the part played by drama in psychological maturation,
leading to a discussion of depression, thought disorder and
schizophrenia and the role of drama therapy in their treatment.
Part Two examines the drama therapy experience and the ways in
which the therapeutic possiblities of drama can be harnessed, both
in improvised dramatic episodes and in theatre games, to achieve a
wide range of therapeutic goals.
