Art and drama: Partners in therapy. Irwin, E. C., Rubin, J. A., & Shapiro, M. I. American Journal of Psychotherapy, 29(1):107–116, 1975. ![Art and drama: Partners in therapy [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex This paper discusses the background, rationale, and process of an art drama therapy group, co led by an art therapist and a drama therapist in a child guidance clinic. The theoretical and practical differences and similarities between this approach and traditional play therapy are noted and the expectations and surprises which resulted from the 'blending' of these 2 expressive forms are discussed in detail. The art drama group, composed of 6 latency age boys, met for a year. Freely using both modalities, the participants engaged in symbolic and fantasy play of an intense nature in externalizing and working through their difficulties. The authors conclude that in making available a variety of expressive arts forms, the therapeutic possibilities are enlarged and enhanced, resulting in an enriched experience for both children and workers.
