As an emerging psychotherapeutic discipline, drama therapy has been gaining global attention over the last decade for its demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of child and adolescent populations. However, despite this attention and despite the current turbulent state of the world and the increasing population of disturbed and at-risk children, the field of drama therapy has so far lacked a standard text. Weber and Haen's book fills this need, providing a core text for graduate students and established professionals alike. Clinical Applications of Drama Therapy in Child and Adolescent Treatment is guided by theory, but firmly rooted in practice, providing a survey of the many different possibilities and techniques for incorporating drama therapy within child and adolescent therapy. Its chapters are written by contributors from five different countries, all of whom are established authors on the leading edge of drama therapy, and they deal with issues that have so far received little attention, such as the use of drama therapy in the wake of the September 11th attacks and to address Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. More than merely a survey of the existing literature on drama therapy, this text represent a true expansion of the field: one which articulates the breadth of possibilities and applications for drama therapy in the larger context of psychotherapy.
