Re:AIDS/HIV/ Cancer and dramatherapy

Linus,

Don't know why your research seems more interesting than mine but anyway. I had a look in some dramatherapy books and found a section in Alida Gersie's book Dramatic Approaches to Brief Therapy (p238-241; Jessica Kingsley 1996) where she describes work with a cancer patient, although a lot of the therapy focused on other issues including a previous sexual assault. Dramatherapy case studies tend not to be written in the most analytical style but the other suggestion to look at The Arts in Psychotherapy seems a good one.

Generally I've heard of more work using Art therapy, eg

Art therapy in palliative care : the creative response / edited by Mandy Pratt and Michèle J.M. Wood.
Publisher: London ; New York : Routledge, 1998.

Another source might be the Dramatherapy, the Journal of the british Association of Dramatherapists though I had a quick skim and didn't find anything. BADTh's website is undergoing changes at the moment (www.badth.co.uk) but you might have luck there or at David Pratt's Dramatherapy page www.dramatherapy.co.uk)

God bless,

Shass
