Larger than Life is aimed at anyone interested in obesity and its
treatment. It follows a dramatherapy group attended by six women,
all struggling with their weight, using vignettes, transcriptions
of the sessions attended, and commentary on the progress made by
the participants. A final interview concludes each of the women's
therapy, where they talk about their experiences within the group,
followed by the therapist's summation of their treatment. The book
concludes with brief telephone conversations with all six women
three years after their treatment ended, giving a clear picture of
the value of dramatherapy to the individual. As well as looking at
these specific case studies, the authors also discuss the causes
and effects of obesity, the dramatherapy group process, and why
dramatherapy is an effective means of treating eating disorders.
This is a must-read book for anyone interested in the subject of
obesity or dramatherapy.

Therapeutic case histories covering themes ranging from obesity to
depression This book consists of ten case histories that cover a
wide range of themes from obesity to depression. One woman is
trying to come to grips with past memories, another cannot escape
from a passionate love with no future, an adolescent immigrant is
trying to overcome a persistent stammer, a fifty-year-old man
decides to separate from the love of his life rather than
compromise with his principles. Writing in the first person, the
dramatherapist describes her reactions to and interaction with the
client as well as some of the techniques used in the therapeutic
process. The stories are based on real cases, but in order to
conform to the story-telling genre they contain a beginning, middle
and end, which is not always the case in real life.
Supervisors who wish to employ a more imaginative approach to their
work will find concepts such as 'aesthetic distancing' and
techniques derived from dramatherapy - the use of myths and
stories, dramatic play and roles - particularly useful. Supervision
and Dramatherapy explores the ways in which dramatherapy techniques
and concepts can be applied to supervision, and looks at how
supervisions are conducted within the field of dramatherapy. The
contributors, leading dramatherapists from Britain, Continental
Europe, the United States and Israel, have written on the
historical background of supervion in dramatherapy, the process of
dramatherapy supervision, the training of
supervisor-dramatherapists, taking a dramatherapy approach to
business supervisions, the supervision of crisis intervention teams
and dramatherapy research. They offer insights into the
relationships between supervisor, supervisee and client, and the
dramatic roles that unfold during the supervision process. Drawing
on their own experiences in clinical and non-clinical settings, and
richly illustrating their accounts with examples from practice,
they offer exciting and creative ways of effectively supervising
dramatherapists and non-dramatherapists alike.
