Cambodian women have suffered through many years of trauma and grief, during and after the Khmer …

Touch In Drama Therapy: A Literature Review, Sara Hood
Expressive Therapies Capstone Theses
This article is a cursory look at how touch is perceived in the field of drama therapy. Touch is integral to our experience as humans and can be present in drama therapy sessions.

While drama therapy has a clear voice when it comes to ethically engaging in touch with a client, very little research was found exploring the intention and outcome of touch in a drama therapy session. Other therapeutic modalities, specifically Developmental Transformations and dance/movement therapy, are identified as …
