Content:

This module introduces the theoretical foundations and practical application of goal-setting frameworks in drama therapy, including their empirical measurement and evaluation in oral and written formats. Students develop skills in observing and analyzing therapeutic goals based on practical and theoretical models. Through self-experiential learning, they learn to observe and describe their own behavioral, cognitive, and emotional patterns in everyday and theatrical contexts, and to playfully develop new patterns. The module also deepens engagement with personal and others’ themes through drama therapy practice.
