Dramatherapy: Clinical Studies

by Steve Mitchell

Showing how dramatherapy is used in practice in work with different client groups, Clinical Studies is intended for both students and practising dramatherapists. It includes both case studies of dramatherapy as it actually works and descriptions of group work. Illustrating the challenge of putting a particular methodology into practice when working with specific client groups, the book demonstrates particular frameworks around which to base an approach, without prescribing pre-set work formats. Each contributor places his or her working method within a particular theoretical orientation and provides valuable insights into how this philosophy works in action. All the contributors are trained dramatherapists currently active in the clinical field about which they are writing.

When I began my training as a dramatherapist in 2001, this book was truly inspirational and allowed me to begin to picture the type of dramatherapist I wanted to become. Since qualifying 15 years ago, I have worked in a range of mental health settings and I feel that this book remains accessible and relevant.
