Dramatherapy by Richard Hougham, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

This unique text is both an accessible introduction and specialist review of contemporary dramatherapy practice today. The collected chapters introduce critical and cohesive perspectives on dramatherapy as it is being practiced, developed and advanced in diverse contexts, and also investigate the connections between the discipline of dramatherapy both as an allied health profession, a form of psychotherapy and a traditional form of theatre and healing. In so doing, the volume unpicks the relationship between drama and therapy, exploring some of its key philosophies and practices, and examining its efficacy. Edited by two experienced lecturers and dramatherapists, the book stands as a timely and crucial resource for students and practitioners alike in this growing field. It is essential reading for students on Dramatherapy, Arts Therapy and Applied Theatre degree programmes, and useful background reading for students of Theatre and Performance, Counselling and Psychotherapy. | Dramatherapy by Richard Hougham, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
