Series: Supervision in the Arts Therapies.

Supervision of Dramatherapy offers a thorough overview of dramatherapy supervision and the issues that can arise during the supervisory task.

Phil Jones and Ditty Dokter bring together experts from the field to examine supervision in a range of contexts with different client groups, including dramatherapy with children, forensic work, and intercultural practice. Each chapter features:

  • theoretical grounding
  • the importance of action methods
  • position in the professional lifecycle
  • application in relation to setting and client groups.

Using illustrative examples, Supervision of Dramatherapy provides practical guidance and theoretical grounding, appealing to supervisors and supervisees alike, as well as psychotherapists interested in the use of dramatic methods in the supervisory setting.

Reviews

"I would recommend Supervision of Dramatherapy as a varied and comprehensive resource, not only for supervisors but for all dramatherapists." - Kate Kent, Dramatherapy, Vol. 31, No. 1, Spring 2009

"The book promises to be an experts' view of contemporary practices in dramatherapy supervision. [It] delivers on its promise, covering a wide range of issues that arise in the supervision process, presenting…the challenges of supervising student therapists who are working with different populations. [The book] addresses some of the most challenging aspects of therapeutic work and the issues that can arise in supervision with any population. It is thorough and engaging and I enjoyed Jones and Dokter's use of quotes from supervisors and supervisees on their experience inthe supervision process." - Bonnie Harnden, M.A., R.D.T. in Canadian Art Therapy Association Journal, Vol. 22, No. 1

"This book is timely in the way that it reviews the supervisory needs of professionals who work with a range of clients. The findings are backed up by current research, including looking at and evaluating aims and outcomes." - Pat Havell, ACP North London Magazine, February 2010
