Dramatherapy for People with Learning Disabilities

The value of dramatherapy as an action-based method for this client group; goals; structuring a session; central dramatherapeutic exploration within the session; inter-disciplinary therapy; reflections on process; considerations for the future.

This is a well-written book that offers insights into both dramatherapy and the world of institutionalized adults; it will thus be valuable not only to dramatherapists, but to all those who work with the mentally retarded. In fact, its appeal is likely to be universal because of Chesner's sensitivity as a therapist and the thoughtfulness of her case descriptions.
