Drama therapy is the systematic and intentional use of drama/theatre processes and products to achieve the therapeutic goals of symptom relief, emotional and physical integration, and personal growth. Drama therapy is an active, experiential approach that facilitates the client's ability to tell his/her story, solve problems, set goals, express feelings appropriately, achieve catharsis, extend the depth and breadth of inner experience, improve interpersonal skills and relationships, and strengthen the ability to perform personal life roles while increasing flexibility between roles. Drama therapists are
trained in theatre arts, psychology, psychotherapy and drama therapy. Areas of
study include improvisation, puppetry, role-playing, mask work, pantomime,
theatrical production, psychodrama, developmental psychology, theories of
personality, and group process. All students of drama therapy must complete
supervised clinical internships with a broad range of populations.
