Summary

Despite the fact that drama and play have long been used for therapeutic intervention, dramatherapy is only now being seen as a process which can have a place alongside already established modes of therapeutic practice.

Dramatherapy by Sue Jennings

Dramatherapy: Theory and Practice 1 introduces the reader to the basic issues of dramatherapy and offers a highly authoritative guide to the clinical practitioner or teacher who wishes to use role-play and enactment in the context of therapeutic work. With its companion volume Dramatherapy: Theory and Practice 2, it provides an invaluable resource for all those whose work can benefit from the use of dramatherapy including counsellors, nurses and occupational therapists.

`The wealth of topics covered belie the size of this book: the choice of material is well-balanced, the contents are authoritative, the presentation crystal clear; altogether this is a sound, concise reference manual for the practitioner, a "good read" for the lay person and a valuable guide for the student' - British Association of Dramatherapists

`A superb overview of the discipline of dramatherapy as applied to a number of settings and populations; a must for all educators and clinicians interested in this fascinating field.' - Professor Robert Landy, New York University
