ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of the book. The book focuses on a work in progress aimed at providing dramatherapy with epistemological foundations. Dramatherapy is founded on imagination, which is at the same time shared and embodied. At the core of dramatherapy there is a form of humanism, a profound respect for the other, whom people always consider not just a person to be helped, but a herald of potential creativity. The tension between unbound imagination and communication-oriented products kindles people's creativity, even if it is dormant and forgotten. Retrieving their inborn creativity gives people the permission to be curious, flexible and attentive, and the more the creative attitude grows, the more their dramatic abilities are enhanced, recursively confirming dramatic reality as a safe setting to share feelings and worldviews, and to look together for novel perspectives. Improvisation and composition are the patterns through which people's dramatic fictions can be created.
