Product Description
Review
'This remarkable book is essential for all Dramatherapy reading. Not only is it the first book to thoroughly research the European history of Dramatherapy, it also provides an illuminating, integrated model of practice.' - Sue Jennings, Royal London Hospital Medical College, University of London and Honorary Fellow of the Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham
'Phil Jones takes us on a journey through Dramatherapy - its history, processes, healing factors, theory and practice. When I started to read, I found it difficult to put the book down. Each chapter impelled me to read on. He has the ability to both describe and analyze Dramatherapy whilst firmly linking it with practice. This book cannot fail to stimulate the reader. It is a valuable resource for students, a useful review for practitioners and of interest to all those who are involved in drama, theatre and therapy.' - Dorothy Langley, Lecturer in Dramatherapy and Psychodrama, South Devon College of Technology
'an impressive book, meticulously researched. In it Jones covers Dramatherapy from early times to its emergence in the twentieth century ... He describes nine core processes and theatrical core processes which he considers crucial to its effectiveness, with illustrations from his clinical practice. In a word, Jones seems to have come a long way towards overcoming what he calls the `struggle to find clear concepts, working methodologies and language' to explain why and how it is that `drama is a therapy in its own right'. - Marian R Lindkvist, Founder and Director of Sesame Institute, London
'Reading this mighty work has been a fascinating experience. This book describes all that Dramatherapy is, what people think it is and contains a mass of information based on wide research. This basic and most valuable book distinguishes between theatre and drama-the-doing-of-life. It is a treasure chest of detailed information that no student or interested person should miss.' - Peter Slade, pioneer in Dramatherapy
'This book will be a valuable and greatly needed resource for all dramatherapists and related students and practitioners.' - Professor Robert Landy, Associate Professor and Director of Dramatherapy Programme, New York University
"Phil Jones' Second Edition of Drama as Therapy is a comprehensive, erudite, and grounded illumination of the field of drama therapy. He brings past, present, and future of the field to life in an active conversation among practitioners, researchers, and theoreticians. Jones' emphasis on the core processes underlying the therapeutic effects of drama, rather than the marketed "approaches," provides a solid understanding of drama therapy. He is a brilliant, open, and modest author whose book continues to be one of the most significant contributions to the drama therapy literature." – David Read Johnson, Director of the Institute for the Arts in Psychotherapy, New York, USA
"In this exciting new edition, Jones's "core processes of dramatherapy" have been tested in practice by a range of therapists, whose experiences have now been ploughed back to produce a book which is systematic but sensitive, comprehensive and focused - alive with the real presence of healing-in-drama." – Roger Grainger, Department of Psychology and Health Studies, Roehampton University, UK
"His exquisitely clear articulation of what dramatherapy is, how it really functions as therapy, and its value in today's world, especially with the inclusion of many exciting cross-cultural vignettes, make this expanded 2nd edition by Phil Jones, unquestionably, one of the best textbooks in our field." – Stephen Snow, RDT-BCT Coordinator, Graduate Drama Therapy, Department of Creative Art Therapies, Concordia University, Canada
