The first JKP book on dramatherapy was published in 1990. Since then the list has grown rapidly, and covers the related area of psychodrama as well. Books cover both theory and practice, and are on the leading edge of this developing field. We also publish very actively in the closely related fields of play therapy and storymaking. The JKP arts therapies list also covers music therapy, art therapy, dance and movement therapy and the interdisciplinary therapies.
