Dramatherapy and Social Theatre: Necessary Dialogues by Sue Jennings

Dramatherapy and Social Theatre: Necessary Dialogues considers the nature of drama, theatre and dramatherapy, examining how dramatherapy has evolved over the past decade and how the relationship between dramatherapy and social theatre has developed as a result.

In this book Sue Jennings brings together international dramatherapists and theatre practitioners to challenge, clarify, describe and debate some of the theoretical and practical issues in dramatherapy and social theatre. Contributors cover topics including:

  • dramatherapy in communities
  • ground rules and definitions
  • cross-cultural perspectives
  • dramatherapy with adoptive and foster families
  • research with professional actors.
