Child Agency and Voice in Therapy offers innovatory ways of
thinking about, and working with, children in therapy. The book:
considers different practices such as respecting the rights of the
child in therapy and recognising and listening to children as
'active agents' and 'experts'; features approaches that: access
children's views of their therapy; engage with them as researchers
or co-researchers; and that use play and arts-based methods; draws
on arts therapies research in ways that enable insight and learning
for all those engaged with children's therapy and wellbeing;
considers how the contexts of the therapy, such as a school or
counselling centre, relate to the ways children experience
themselves and their therapy in relation to rights, agency and
voice. Child Agency and Voice in Therapy will be beneficial for all
child therapists and is a good resource for courses concerning
childhood welfare, therapy, education, wellbeing and mental health.
Dramatherapy with Children, Young People and Schools is the first
book to specifically evaluate the unique value of dramatherapy in
the educational environment. A variety of highly experienced
dramatherapists, educational psychologists and childhood experts
discuss the benefits to the children and young people, and also in
relation to the involvement of teachers, the multi-disciplinary
team and families. This professional book offers a panoramic view
to explain how through dramatherapy children and young people
develop their communication skills, sociability and their actual
desire to learn. Detailed case studies demonstrate individual
successes in youngsters experiencing a range of emotional
difficulties and psychological needs. These studies include:
conquering a fear of maths; violent behaviour transformed into
educational achievement; safe expression of feelings for a sexually
abused child; and where children are diagnosed with mental health
disorders such as ADHD and ODD, where the benefits of dramatherapy
with children and families are carefully described and evaluated,
suggesting that this therapeutic discipline can achieve positive
outcomes. The practical advice and inspirational results included
here promote a future direction of integration and collaboration of
school staff, multi-disciplinary teams and families. Education and
equality are high on the agenda, and the function of dramatherapy
is not just as a treatment, but as an economically viable and
valuable preventive therapy.

Using extensive examples from practice with a range of client
groups, Dramatherapy and Autism confronts the assumption that
people with autism are not able to function within the metaphorical
realms of the imagination and creativity. It demonstrates that not
only are people who function along the spectrum capable of engaging
in creative exploration, but that through encountering these
processes in the clinical context of dramatherapy, changes can be
made that are life enhancing. Bringing in cutting-edge research and
practice on dramatherapy, Dramatherapy and Autism aims to
contribute to developing the theory and practice of creative arts
therapies interventions with clients with autism. The book is part
of the Dramatherapy: approaches, relationships, critical ideas
series, in which leading practitioners and researchers in the field
develop the knowledge base of this unique discipline, whilst
contextualising and acknowledging its relationship with other arts
and therapeutic practices. Dramatherapy and Autism will be of
interest to a broad spectrum of readers, such as dramatherapists in
practice and training, arts practitioners and academic researchers
engaged in multidisciplinary enquiry.
