Storymaking books and resources

Very closely related to dramatherapy, the therapeutic strengths of storymaking are now well established and the area is well represented in the JKP list. Alida Gersie's new book on the use of stories in groups is described below. Her edited book on brief dramatherapy appears on our dramatherapy page, and related areas in the arts therapies include play therapy, music therapy, art therapy, dance and movement therapy and the interdisciplinary therapies.
