OverviewSpace, Place and Dramatherapy: International Perspectives provides radical, critical and practical insights into the relevance and significance of space and place in dramatherapy practice. Bringing together an international breadth of contributors, the chapters of this book reveal extensive reflections on the many spaces in which dramatherapists and their clients work and offer research implications for those wishing to critically examine their own symbolic or structural spaces in dramatherapy practice. Chapters consider space and place from many angles: ritual and symbolic spaces; transitional and play spaces; educational and interpersonal spaces; and scenographic and architectural spaces. The book examines the impact of space on human (and more-than-human) relationships, dramatherapy practice and processes and mental health, offering new avenues of research and critical enquiry. This volume is the first of its kind to rigorously elucidate the importance of space within the field of dramatherapy and is essential reading for academics, scholars and postgraduate students of dramatherapy as well as practicing dramatherapists and professionals within the wider domains of arts and health.

Future Spaces of DramatherapyReviews'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'.
