This paper provides the results of a questionnaire constructed to solicit information about the creative structures that dramatherapists and psychodramatists are using in therapy with Looked-After children (LAC) and young people. After a brief account of the research itself the results are presented; this starts by defining the assessment and evaluation tools that are used by the practitioners. The particular needs of this client group are examined and what follows is the analysis and explanation of the creative ways in which the practitioners meet the needs of LAC and young people.
In this article the author examines responses to a questionnaire circulated to dramatherapists designed to elicit information about whether dramatherapy can be an effective intervention for children and young people with autistic spectrum disorders and allied mental health and psychological difficulties. The author outlines the process of analysing the data and the construction of resultant themes that inform dramatherapy practice, including the structures, content and process.
