"Phil Jones' second volume of Drama As Therapy is a significant and much needed addition to the dramatherapy literature. Of note are his innovative dialogues with leading practitioners and theorists in the field and his continuing development of a praxis of dramatherapy: a practice both informed by theory and informing theory. Jones has become one of the clearest voices articulating the need for a broad and research-based conception of dramatherapy." - Robert J. Landy, Professor of Educational Theatre and Applied Psychology Director, Drama Therapy Program New York University. "The important quality of Phil Jones' work is that he is able to move the debate and practice of dramatherapy forward. This second volume clarifies three important issues. Firstly what are the different approaches to dramatherapy? Secondly how do we research and demonstrate the efficacy of dramatherapy practice? Thirdly he writes about the politics of dramatherapy. This is a significant book which includes important contributions from previously unpublished dramatherapists." -- Sue Jennings, Professor, Tel Hai College, Israel. Item Details
