Dramatherapy is being increasingly practised in a range of therapeutic
settings and is of growing interest to theatre practitioners and
teachers. The Handbook of Dramatherapy brings together five authors
who have considerable experience of clinical, artistic and educational
work to provide an easy-to-read introduction to the major models of
dramatherapy. The authors explain the differences between dramatherapy
and psychodrama, discuss its relationship with theatre art, look at
assessment and evaluation techniques, and argue the need for more
appropriate methods of research for this increasingly popular form of
therapeutic treatment.
The Handbook of Dramatherapy provides a comprehensive basis for theory
and practice and will be an invaluable resource for all students of
dramatherapy and theatre.
