It is written in a hands-on style combining theory, detailed protocols, and examples that the author brings together, offering an array of creative ways to work with different clients for a variety of aims.

The book expands arts therapy practice to additional dimensions, enriching and improving professionals’ work by presenting new knowledge in fields such as “performance-based therapy,” “nature therapy,” supervision and assessment, and mind-body connections. Berger’s creative and pioneering style extends to sharing with readers the thought processes that culminated in developing the methods he presents.

Reviews

“This is a pioneering book which enables us to safely cross several borders. Berger brings together a strong body of knowledge in the field of performance in dramatherapy and integrates nature therapy with a series of working models. It is important that we can take the bigger view of arts therapies through his lens, and not scramble around in a microscopic corner of protective territory. I warmly recommend this book for all therapists and educationalists.” – Professor Sue Jennings, Innovator of Neuro-Dramatic-Play, Dramatherapy Pioneer, Senior Research Fellow, University of Birmingham, England
