ABSTRACT
The progression of a single drama therapy session is analyzed, primarily in terms of achieving smooth progression, transition and flow, with an overall aesthetic awareness and therapeutic intentionality. The chapter also describes creative and drama therapeutic ways of responding to resistance, focusing on adolescent resistance. Clinical choices that arise in session facilitation—such as group versus individual needs, or dramatic versus verbal processing—are discussed. In the latter part of the chapter, two actual sessions are described in detail—the first from the very start of a treatment series and the second taking place at a latter point with that same group.
