Reviews

'This book draws together a broad range of chapters and authors about the less explored, because considered obvious, concept of space in dramatherapy. Especially innovative areas for me were scenography and ritual space, in addition to the useful chapters on educational and play spaces.This book opens up a dialogue about the many spaces among, between and with which we work as dramatherapists. Trainees, practitioners and researchers can usefully develop their own perspectives from this invaluable volume'. Ditty Dokter, PhD, past course leader MA dramatherapy, Roehampton and Anglia Ruskin Universities
