Hi Holly- as an actor I am always involved in creating a narrative for a character which gives him a past life and subtext for his current situation. Can you tell me if there are studies for psycho-therapy that utilize this?

Hi Jay!
That's a great question. Actually, there's a form of therapy that has some overlap with exactly what you're talking about. It's an up-and-coming treatment with promising research behind it, and there's sure to be even more scientific support with time. Here's a link that will give you some more information about it (including some of the empirical literature): http://bit.ly/2fNT0mj
Also, here's another wonderful story about how drama therapy is being used to help veterans: http://bit.ly/1TgEZvG
I hope this is helpful! Thank you again, and have a lovely week ahead! :)
Warmly,
Holly
