Description
This course will provide a theoretical and skills-based overview of the uses of psychodrama and drama therapy and how they are applied working therapeutically with a range of populations and psychological issues. We will examine the basic concepts and philosophy originating with J.L. Moreno, the founder of psychodrama, as well as other drama therapy pioneers, in order to better understand the process and complexities of action-based adult, adolescent and child psychotherapeutic modalities. In addition, psychodrama and drama therapeutic perspectives will be explored within the framework of individual, group, family, creative arts therapy and community healing applications. This is a highly experiential, action-based class which combines theoretical and practical considerations of what psychodrama offers within the therapeutic encounter.
