Editorial Reviews
Review
“I would recommend Supervision of Dramatherapy as a varied and comprehensive resource, not only for supervisors but for all dramatherapists.” – Kate Kent, Dramatherapy, Vol. 31, No. 1, Spring 2009
“The book promises to be an experts’ view of contemporary practices in dramatherapy supervision. [It] delivers on its promise, covering a wide range of issues that arise in the supervision process, presenting…the challenges of supervising student therapists who are working with different populations. [The book] addresses some of the most challenging aspects of therapeutic work and the issues that can arise in supervision with any population. It is thorough and engaging and I enjoyed Jones and Dokter’s use of quotes from supervisors and supervisees on their experience inthe supervision process.” – Bonnie Harnden, M.A., R.D.T. in Canadian Art Therapy Association Journal, Vol. 22, No. 1
“This book is timely in the way that it reviews the supervisory needs of professionals who work with a range of clients. The findings are backed up by current research, including looking at and evaluating aims and outcomes.” – Pat Havell, ACP North London Magazine, February 2010
