Drama therapists use processes and techniques from the theatre to help clients

heal, grow, access their creativity, and tolerate change.

Engaging in play with others incorporating movements and roles in scenes,

clients often find their lives transforming beyond what they have been able to

achieve through traditional talk therapy.

In the State of New York, drama therapists practice psychotherapy as Licensed

Creative Arts Therapists (LCAT).

This workshop is being offered in April 2008 in preparation for the Drama

Therapy Master's Degree Program for which the Blanton-Peale Institute is

applying to the New York State Department of Education. These workshops are

designed to help individuals who are curious about drama therapy as a career

decide whether or not to enroll in the two-year program in order to obtain

licensure and

become professional drama therapists. Individuals who want to learn about

various forms of drama therapy but have no plans to study drama therapy further

are also welcome to take one of these workshops.

Fred Landers, MA, RDT-BCT, LCAT, is Director of the Drama Therapy Program at

Blanton-Peale Institute. Fred has used drama therapy with adults recovering

from mental illness and/or chemical dependency, military veterans with a history

of violence since their return from military service, children and adolescents

with problem sexual behavior, and middle school adolescents with emotional

issues. He has published on his use of therapeutic play to prevent harmful

behavior. He has taught drama therapy in the U.S., Canada, Japan, and South

Korea.
