Dramatherapy

The journal of the British Association of Dramatherapists

Aims and Scope

Dramatherapy is the theoretical journal of the British Association of Dramatherapists which covers all aspects of theory, practice and research in the field of Dramatherapy. It aims to promote, develop and examine the diversity of Dramatherapy and to dialogue with related disciplines in the fields of creative arts therapies, theatre, psychotherapy, performance, movement, and story work.

It is a peer reviewed journal which encourages both detailed, in depth discussion as well as broader debate on theoretical concerns, research issues, clinical practice and professional development.

Dramatherapy will include contributions written from a range of perspectives as they relate to the field of work and welcomes submissions intended to deepen insightful practice, theoretical understanding and intellectual inter-disciplinarily whilst being mindful of Dramatherapy as a discreet practice.

Dramatherapy includes two un-refereed clinical and critical ‘comments' sections which offer a space for shorter contributions and a reviews section covering books, performance and conference reviews.

Readership

Dramatherapy will be of interest to professionals working with theatre and drama and related practices such as creative individual or group work in a range of care settings. These will include mental health practitioners, psychotherapists, creative artists, arts and health workers, applied theatre practitioners, teachers, group workers and carers.
