Description

As if and identification; metaphor - the artistic use of as if; suspending disbelief; role; catharsis and as if; image and archetype - Aristotle and Artaud; as if and healing; dramatherapy; drama and change.

...this is a celebration of the power of theatre to move and heal us and to present to us the world of archetypal imagery in ways that enable us to both identify and distance ourselves. In this thesis, therapy is a special case of ritual, the whole project being one of achieving and managing transitions between worlds. A valuable addition to the literature.
