COUN-6420: Advanced Theories: Developmental Transfo

In this course, which requires no previous experience with embodied forms of therapy, we will explore Developmental Transformations (DvT), a drama therapy practice in which therapist and client(s) play together, their improvised interactions, structured by the therapist, incorporating movements, sounds, pretend objects, and roles in theatrical scenes. Integrating experiential exercises and discussions of theory in each class meeting, we will examine how the real and the imaginary are titrated in a DvT session, generating a containing playspace and preventing harm. Emphasizing the effectiveness of DvT in reducing the deleterious effects of stress and trauma, we will explore how DvT helps clients of all ages lower their anxiety about the instability of life and increase their capacities to discover possibilities and actualize the potentials that they most value.
