The essays constitute a moving account of how he kept on course and confirm his established stature in the role of helmsman for his clients, his students and himself. -- Research in Drama Education Robert Landy is an acknowledged leader in the field of drama therapy. This book confirms him as a key figure in defining that field through sharp theoretical exposition and honest reporting of illuminative practice -- from the Foreword ...a joy to read... very accessible to students and seasoned drama therapists alike. He writes with a ""fighting edge"" which makes this book one of the most exciting and stimulating that I have read.
