Synopsis
An innovative contribution to our understanding of research and practice behind Neuro-Dramatic-Play (NDP), this book demonstrates how readers may apply this attachment and play-based approach to teaching, parenting, and therapy. This essential book will provide guidance on new techniques and methods, enhancing their practice and providing potential solutions to problems they may be encountering in their work with clients.Filled with diverse contributions from a team of multi-cultural authors, this book is divided into five distinct parts: Section 1 begins by considering the roots and development of NDP, including the science and evidence supporting it as a practice. Section 2 covers applying NDP to work with children and young people, including neurodivergent children and those who have experienced trauma. Section 3 explores how readers can integrate NDP practices into art, drama ,and play therapy. Section 4 moves on to discuss international perspectives on NDP, including NDP practice within a range of different geographical and cultural contexts. Section 5 concludes the book by examining case studies of work with diverse populations, including pregnant women, forensic settings, and people with young on-set dementia. Written for clinicians and therapists of all specialisms, this is a compelling read for any mental health practitioner seeking a practical approach to develop (or re-develop) attachment experiences for individuals who have experienced loss, neglect, rejection, or abuse.
