ABSTRACT
Dramatherapy is one of the arts therapies modalities that can choose between embodiment, projection and role in its interventions. This chapter focuses
on embodiment in group work and compares the effect of embodiment in art therapy, dance movement therapy and dramatherapy. Feedback from clients and therapists about the helpful and hindering aspects of therapy will be used to explain why, for example, different genders experience the impact of embodiment differently. This chapter will discuss cultural, diagnostic, class and gender factors influencing that difference, providing case studies from practice. The role of witness will be discussed as an important interacting factor with the client background variables.
