Full textPregnancy is a short but extremely impactful time in a woman's life. When trauma occurs during the course of pregnancy the negative emotional consequences can be long-lasting. They can also be complex both for the client to understand and for the therapist to treat. This thesis explores the hypothesis that because drama therapy allows the client such tools as the safety of distancing, full use of the body, embracing of paradox, role investigation, and a way to express the emotional responses to both met and unmet societal expectations it is therefore uniquely suited to helping women who have been through traumatic pregnancies reclaim feelings of emotional well-being. A comprehensive literature review is presented which looks at the reasons why a traumatic pregnancy is such a complicated event to achieve emotional closure with, the appropriateness of drama therapy methodologies for use with this population, and the difficulties inherent in therapeutically approaching situations of ambiguous loss and difficult to define traumas. Finally, this author presents data from the writing and performing of a script exploring her personal experience as a survivor of two extremely physically traumatic pregnancies (script included herein) and documenting how drama therapy advanced her process towards healing.

Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 2002. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/7405.
Full textThis dissertation attempts to illustrate by way of clinical material a method of working therapeutically using drama and movement therapy with a group of adolescents with learning difficulties. The study is located within a theoretical context of an understanding of the emotional aspects of learning While many interventions with learning difficulties stress the cognitive dimension of these problems, this study explores their emotional basis and consequences. Bion's theory of thinking and the Container-Contained model of early object relations is used to formulate the idea that the adolescents participating in the study had not yet internalised an object capable of knowing, making it difficult for them to think about themselves and to express verbally their needs and feelings. An important aspect of the therapeutic function, that of providing a container within which to hold feelings and make thoughts thinkable, is thus explicated. It is further noted that the Way in which adolescents communicate their feelings in therapy is frequently beyond words, and ascertained by way of symbolic expression, non-verbal responses and projective-identification processes. This assumption is actively engaged by establishing drama and movement therapy as the primary therapeutic mode in the work. The potential of the creative arts therapies in assisting these young people in negotiating their difficulties is explored. Through an analysis of case material, the dissertation explores how difficult feelings associated with learning problems can be enacted, named and recovered for reflection and expression Both the notion of the therapist as a container for the adolescents' feelings, as well as the potential usefulness of drama and movement as 'concrete' containers for the exploration of internal and external experience, are examined.

Full textThe work of this thesis studies the impact of drama therapy using improvisation exercises as well as structured theatre games with obese patients. In this context 44 individuals received 5 sessions using this model of therapy in the context of a therapeutic education program during a standardized 3-week hospitalization. A group of 50 individuals received the same program of care but which did not include drama therapy; they formed the control group. All were estimated, in test/retest procedure, at the level of the alexithymia (TAS-20), self-esteem (ETES), the eating disorder, and strategies of coping (Brief COPE). Furthermore the representations and experiences of the experimental group were collected post-hospitalization (ECTM questionnaires). The results indicate a significant increase in scores of emotional self-esteem, a decrease in outward-oriented thinking and an increase in the scores of coping strategies geared towards social support. This study suggests the appropriateness of using structured and codified drama therapy techniques with obese patients. Similarly, the participation in those activities seems to indicate a sustainable process of change and to contribute to their socio-cultural assimilation

The purpose of this study was to explore the content and process of working with image. Focusing on a dramatherapy group with the use of story, drama enactment and artmaking, the study explored the images and the inner process of working with image through the experiences of three participants. Narrative inquiry and in-depth interview were employed in the study to collect and present qualitative data. The discussion is summarized below: 1. The discussions of the method: there were three stages in the group process, included the initial stage, the middle stage, and the final stage. The main goal of the initial stage is to establish a supportive envioronment for spontaneous creative activity. In the middle stage, participants ineracted deeply with their images and facilitate the life within images. In the final stage, the most important work is to integrate the images. Then, the three main elements of working with image, including story, drama enactment and artmaking, were discussed here. The three elements were utilized together to deepen the process of working with image. 2. The emerge of the image: Through the understanding of both the participants and researcher, the study suggested that images bring meaning from four different dimensions. From the consciousness, images are related to the reality. From the unconsciousness, images reveal the inner mental structure. From the collective unconsciousness, images contain meanings and energy from the psychic world. Furthermore, image has its own independent spirit, and that brings individual external strenght and insight. 3. Working with image: The inner process working with image suggested to go throuth the state in order, to the state in chaos, and ends up in the state of reintegration. In the end, the study concluded the critical characters of image, including it’s like a living organism, and can be keeping the link with individual. Working with image opens up the turning opportunity, rebuilds the relationship between inner images, and bring actual influence in real life.

Full textThis qualitative research study examines the ways in which embodiment in drama therapy can be an effective intervention aimed at enhancing intercultural communication amongst South Africans. South Africa is a multicultural society owing to the diverse cultures people belong to. Communication is required in order for multiculturalism to succeed and peaceful coexistence to be stimulated. This study involved six participants who engaged in a series of six drama therapeutic group sessions focused on embodiment. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis the study found that the participants were able to enhance the intercultural communication amongst them as well as develop cross-cultural relationships. This research report consists of an exploration of the South African context. Thereafter embodiment, culture and communication are discussed to understand how these aspects influence the participants and their daily lives. Chapter three is the exploration of both globalisation and intercultural communication. Chapter four gives an explication of embodiment as a drama therapy approach and what embodiment offers the individual, followed by chapter five which demonstrates the methodology applied to investigate the method of embodiment. The main chapter of this study is chapter six and discusses the embodied drama therapy process and how it became a comfort zone for the participants in which they could communicate and develop meaningful relationships with the fellow participants. Chapter seven concludes and discusses the limitations and recommendations for the research. The drama therapy methodologies empowered participants and enabled them to think about themselves, their behaviour and how they communicate in a different way. It further enabled unconscious material to surface to the conscious mind, thereby evoking introspection and reflection.

Full textThis research is a theoretical comparative examination of two practices through their similarities and differences based on a qualitative method with an Interpretative Social Science approach. The intention is to find where these two practices, Drama Therapy and Restorative Justice synergise- whereupon lies a collaboration of approaches. To achieve this, Role Method as advocated for by Robert Landy, one of the proponents of drama therapy was employed. The outcome is a role method-based Restorative Drama Therapy process that is aimed at juveniles in diversion with minor crimes. It is the researcher’s believe that through a restorative drama therapy, the client (juveniles in diversion) can be allowed to travel into the distant memory and retrieve the dormant roles, interrogate and rehearse them as they prepare to inhabit them. This is because drama therapy and restorative justice share similarities especially in role creation. The synergy, I found in the similarities. In the differences though, is where I sit with the best practices in drama therapy to complement and anchor restorative principles in a drama therapy process.

Full textThis research looks at the possibility of a feminist paradigm that can frame the practice of drama therapy in South Africa. The paper explores the challenges that black South African women are still battling with twenty-five years post-Apartheid. While investigating the notions of gender and the significance of the different waves of feminism, and how feminist pedagogy has come to help us understand gender as a social construct. Through five interviews with practising Drama Therapists in South Africa, the paper distils the themes that these practitioners face in their daily encounters. The research stresses the importance of feminism as a way of working towards deconstructing the taboos that inform gendered roles. It further explores the historical legacy of Apartheid in present-day South Africa. It also looks at the issues of body politics and how capitalism continues to exploit black bodies especially those of women for profit. Also, it explores silence and its uses

This purpose of this study was to explore and describe the developmental history of drama therapy in Taiwan. In order to gain deeper understanding of the topic, the author had participated in field activities and conducted a leading interview. It was found that drama therapy and psychological therapy had established the places in helping profession each in different ways, and were influenced by some social context factors Institutional ethnography was applied in this study, to draw the outline of the development of drama therapy through the daily work life of drama therapists, and to extract the context factors that affected the development of drama therapy. Interviews were carried out for four drama therapists, who had returned to Taiwan and practiced early with foreign drama therapy certification. Institutional ethnography with phenomenology method for data processing were both applied in the study in order to closely describe work experiences of the study participants. Structural analysis of individual participant’s experiences and cross-individual were formed so as to explore the history and factors of drama therapy in Taiwan. Four different working styles of drama therapists were presented in the study, such as "the religion practitioner, turning from" passive "and picking up the mission", ""the stranger", finding and establishing the shelter", ""the leaver", re-advocating her own original intention", and ""the wanderer", clipping in the boundary of two different professions". Three context factors were indicated to have caused influences of development of drama therapy, such as "social impressions", "the relationship of other helping professions", and "the Psychologists’ Act". Findings are discussed in terms of implications for drama therapists, psychologists, and the afterward researchers.

This study is aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of drama therapy in the physical, psychological and social functions of the elderly people in day care center, using a quasi-experimental approach. Through purposive sampling, the drama therapy group (N=19) from a day care center in central Taiwan was compared with participants (N=19) from another day care center in the northern Taiwan. Drama therapy was carried out once a week and three hours for each to reach a total of 20 therapeutic courses in the treatment group, while in the control group, the original activities in the center were maintained. Both pre-test and post-test were conducted for each group. Physical function was assessed via Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), and Auracom. Mental function was evaluated by Chinese Happiness Inventory (CHI) and Emotional Facial Scale, whereas social function was measured by Interpersonal Relationship Scale (IRS). The dada were analyzed using descriptive statistics with SPSS 20.0. The results showed significant improvement (p<.05) of ADL, CHI and IRS after treatment in the experiment group, as well as significant differences in their bioenergy markers, i.e., vigor, stability, balance of five elements, and energy level, monitored by Auracom. Nevertheless, no significant difference (p = .295) was found before and after treatment in IADL analysis of the treatment group. It is suggested that day care centers to provide the training of drama therapists and bring drama therapy into their routine care activities. Our findings also indicate the potential worth of a future larger study, such as extend drama therapy into different cohorts as well as increase the sample size in similar long term care centers, so as to validate the effectiveness of drama therapy in different fields, and finally incorporate drama therapy into educational programs and clinical practice.

The prevalence of dementia increases along with the growth of the elderly population. About 70% of the dementia patients have significant behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), which is the main source of stress for caregivers and family members. Caring patient with dementia not only causes the burden on family members, but also increases the cost of medical care. Non-pharmacological intervention is one of strategies to alleviate the degeneration of patients with dementia. Drama therapy is one of the non-pharmacological interventions on dementia care. Since 1998, the experts have explored the effectiveness of drama therapy on dementia, but no study from Taiwan was published in literature. Therefore, the aim of this empirical study was to explore the effects of dramatic therapy on improving the depressive symptoms, attention, and quality of life of patients with dementia in Taiwan. The research method was divided into two parts. The first part, using systematic review, explore the effects of drama therapy for dementia care, so as to understand more about the intervention, duration, frequency, and outcomes of drama therapy. The second part is a pilot study of a randomized controlled trial (RCT). The research subjects were randomly assigned into the two groups, one is the experimental group and the other is the control group. The inclusion criteria were subjects over 65 years of age, being diagnosed as dementia, receiving day care, no hearing impairment who can communicate with general speaking volume and in Mandarin or Taiwanese, and was willing to participate in this study. The experimental group received a weekly, 90-minute, 12-week drama therapy, while the control group maintained the activities of daily living in day care center. The two groups both received pretest before intervention, and post-test at the ninth and thirteenth week of the drama therapy. The statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 22.0 software. The first part of the research results showed that six studies met the inclusion criteria. Two types of drama therapy were found. One is based on psychological structure that suitable for patients with mild to moderate dementia. This type of intervention delivered 90-105 minutes, once weekly, and for 12-16 sessions. The other is based on theater theory and suitable for patients with severe dementia. The duration of intervention can range from 1 to 7 months. The results of the quantitative analyses showed that significant changes were found in engagement and interaction after receiving drama therapy, but the effects on depression and quality of life is different opinions. The results of the qualitative analyses found that the participants could express their feelings and emotion appropriately and reduce problematic behaviors, thereby improving the quality of life. In the future, it is recommended to adopt a random assignment experimental and a mixed study design. It is difficult to process the meta-analysis, due to the measurement report, statistical method and the scoring method is different and incomplete in this paper. The second part of the research results showed that 24 patients with dementia participated in this study (experimental group 14, control group 10). Eight weeks of drama therapy could significantly improved the depression symptoms (ß = -6.21, p < .001), attention (ß = 7.89, p < .001) and the quality of life (ß = -6.90, p < .001). Twelve weeks of drama therapy can significantly improved the depression symptoms (ß = -5.49, p < .05), attention (ß = 9.44, p < .001) and the quality of life (ß = -5.97, p < .01). The intervention of drama therapy significantly improved the depression, attention and quality of life of the elderly patients with dementia. The approach, content, and frequency of drama therapy offers references to conduct a drama therapy of dementia in future.

The problems of teenagers have become serious increasingly, which result in more attention on the studies of juvenile delinq uency then ever. From the leisure standpoint, this research discusses the effect created by drama therapy in acting on juvenile delinquency, then making some interaction with related theories of art therapy. This study puts to use the methods of qualitative studies including of observing and participating, countryside daily recording and in-depth interviewing. It shows that there is usually a quite complex background and growing experiences being company with juvenile delinquency. Therefore, their backgrounds of life and characters of leisure are generally content of mental over-stress, constraint, disorder, out of focus, and the lack of self-confidence. By participating in the activities of drama, they produce a series of the action of leisure, such as relaxation, escape, self-consciousness, selflessness, sublimation, and self-achievement. Moreover, the following changes in their opinions, attitude, and behaviors happened on themselves, family, and human relationship. Yet, these changes result from the pent-up demands satisfied for the leisure liberty. This study from an integral standpoint of leisure is different from previous researches of art therapy, which mainly based on several kinds of art theories to deliberate psychological effect and behavior adjustments. We touch abundant experiences of leisure liberty during the drama psychotherapy. Through cases study, we point out that how important leisure experiences played in drama art psychotherapy as an agency. The findings of this study might enrich the related theories, catch more attention in future related researches, and in addition improve the lent support to projects of juvenile delinquency.
