Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This book explores the use of drama as a way to help people with special needs make sense of their life situation and develop personal self-esteem. The author describes ways of setting up groups and particular problems to look out for. She sets out how to use drama and play with both groups and individuals. Methods of work and drama material are outlined and developed and examples of particular experiences are given. There is also a section on the training available for drama therapists and playtherapists.
The book features sections on using drama with people to explore cultural identity, for people who are physically disabled, emotionally disturbed, abused and multiply disabled. The benefits of using drama as a therapy can be appreciated by a wide selection of people- teachers, drama specialists, child care workers, social workers and many others.
