Dramatherapy with Children and Adolescents

Drama plays a crucial role in healthy human development. Dramatherapy can therefore be a particularly effective form of intervention in helping troubled children or adolescents. In this book, 12 contributors writing from a range of international and theoretical perspectives, show how the dramatic element in people’s lives plays its part in patterns of healthy and unhealthy development and share practical ways of using dramatherapy with both groups and individuals to bring about creative growth or promote change. Dramatherapy with Children and Adolescents should be useful to all professionals who work with children, including social workers, probation officers, nurses and teachers, as well as dramatherapists and art therapists.
