Art Therapy and Dramatherapy: Masks of the Soul

The book explores the relationship and differences between art therapy and dramatherapy, based on eight years of research and practice in training, clinical practice and theory. The first part of the book explores the theoretical ground on which the arts therapies are based, the history and practice of the two therapies, the relationship between creativity and imagination and therapeutic processes, and the implications of the development of the multi-professional creative team for training and clinical practice. The second half of the book describes five major themes that have been developed in work with students and patients, making use of dominant symbols and mythology.
