 Drama therapy is one of several expressive therapies used by clinicians and practitioners to help their clients achieve emotional and physical integration, personal growth and symptom relief. Like art therapy, it is the application of a creative modality to psychotherapy. Drama therapy trainings include improvisation, puppetry, role-playing, mask work, theatrical production, psychodrama and community-based theaters.
The Antioch curriculum is one of only a few in the country that provides an opportunity for students to combine drama therapy training with a clinical master's degree in psychology. Drama therapists work in numerous settings including, but not limited to, hospitals, residential treatment programs, schools, shelters, community centers, prisons and private practice.
Read about several drama therapy students' experiences in the program at Antioch. These students have different backgrounds and ideas about how they will apply their learning to their careers.
The master's degree can be completed in three years. Students choose from among Couple and Family Therapy and Clinical Mental Health Counseling coursework, integrating drama therapy as part of an additional concentration-specific training which includes internship.
