Averaging a twelve-year problem duration of social anxiety, the dramatherapeutic subjects do not differ from the average non-therapy seeking student when compared in general social and family background or in intellectual capability. There are indications for a special helper-helpee relationship between parent and child as prerequisite for the development of social anxiety.
After four single therapy sessions, the treatment consisted of 16—three hour group sessions once a week, one of these being a three-day “intensive session” in the seclusion of a country meeting place. A therapy group consisted of eight clients (four female, four male) and one female, one male psychotherapist.
In comparing changes of an experimental group (n = 21) after dramatherapy with those of a control group (n = 20) who had been waiting for psychotherapy, drama games and exercises in combination with the work on a specially designed interaction hierarchy proved responsible for significant improvements of the experimental group on cognitive, emotional and behavioural levels. These effects having steadily developed during the process of the group therapy appear to be stable up to seven months after group therapy when follow up interviews were conducted. The therapy procedure Is illustrated, exemplary results are discussed.

The Politics of Action in Therapy
show More to view fulltext, buy and share links for:The Politics of Action in Therapy show Less to hide fulltext, buy and share links for: The Politics of Action in TherapyBy Alan RosenAny method of interpersonal learning or psychotherapy is always a sociopolitcal process, amongst other things, for better or for worse, and whether recognized as such or not. Creative action methods (such as psychodrama, art, dance therapy) in particular can enhance our sense of self and community, by amplifying our autonomy and our ability to do, individually and together. They provide a vivid metaphor for the impact our own actions can have on our lives outside the therapeutic or educational settings. But it is often difficult to get such work established and supported due to existing private and political interests within the professions. Many of the processes considered here are common to both psychotherapy and education. I dwell on therapy only as it is more familiar ground.
