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.
The first two authors of this coaching workbook are themselves
parents who have been on a journey of "swings and roundabouts" -
experienced the highs and lows of having children. Having
difficulties knowing how to parent in many situations, which was
not made easier by the conflicting advice in the media, made them
unsure of their own parenting skills. This was one of the reasons
that they entered into the field of parent-coaching. They were
trained coaches who wanted to use their coaching skills and
experience as parents to help both themselves and other parents get
the understanding and trust in themselves to be the parents they
dream of being. As an educational and child psychologist, Irvine
was able to contribute an evidence and psychological base to the
project.Parents often feel alone and the authors have found that
running courses for them created a space where they could share
experiences with each other as well as experiment with different
ways of parenting. It is their intention to give back some of the
awareness they gained in this comprehensive and invaluable
self-coaching book.
