 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 four drama therapy students' experience in the program during their first year 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 between Couple and Family Therapy or Mental Health Counseling coursework and integrate drama therapy as part of an additional concentration-specific training plus internship. Admission is for fall term only.
