The Routledge International Handbook of Dramatherapy is the first book of its kind to bring together leading professionals and academics from around the world to discuss their practice from a truly international perspective. Dramatherapy has developed as a profession during the latter half of the twentieth century, and we are beginning to see its universal reach across the globe in a range of different and diverse approaches. From Australia to Korea, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and into North & South America, dramatherapists are developing a range of working practices using the curative power of drama within a therapeutic context.
