This extensively revised and expanded edition of The Drama Therapy Decision Tree presents an integrated model for therapeutic decision-making by seamlessly integrating drama therapy interventions with diagnostic information, individual and group processes, psychological distance, the drama therapy pie, and global outcomes. Rather than relying on a standardized protocol that dictates the therapist's decisions, drama therapy is rooted in dynamic, embodied, and creative action with participants in the present moment. Conscious planning on the part of the drama therapist prior to the session fosters spontaneity and creativity, equipping them to make informed therapeutic choices during the session.
The opening section serves as a comprehensive guide, leading readers into Section Two, The Decision Tree, a series of insightful questions designed specifically for early career drama therapists as they craft treatment plans for their clients. Within this section, the focus shifts to Diversity, Equity, and Ethics, exploring these critical aspects from the perspective of creative arts therapy practitioners.
Section Three delves into the integration of the Five Phases of Treatment with the Drama Therapy Pie, presenting a practical framework for guiding clients across different populations (diagnoses) through the five phases of group therapy. By following diverse client populations through these phases, the Decision Tree illustrates how it supports intervention choice at each stage of treatment.
The authors' primary objective is to establish a common language that elucidates the essence of drama therapy and its methodologies for other mental health and medical professionals. By utilizing the decision tree as a guiding framework, early career drama therapists can confidently navigate their practice and ground their work with participants in an integrated and holistic system.
This comprehensive and user-friendly edition of The Drama Therapy Decision Tree is a valuable resource for practitioners, educators, and researchers alike, offering a comprehensive understanding of drama therapy's therapeutic potential and its application in various clinical settings.
