Stuck in a Role: Releasing Trauma in Teens

The Drama Book Shop presents, in association with Jay Michaels Global Communications, Stuck in a Role Releasing Trauma in Teens through the ENACT Drama Therapy Method .- A talkback, signing, and live podcast recording.

About the Book

Stuck in a Role illustrates how adolescents, especially those who have experienced trauma, can become “stuck” in protective roles that can distance them from their authentic selves, and how the ENACT Drama Therapy Method can help them break free from these confining roles.

Using innovative methods of dramatic play, improvisation, and finely honed methods of communication, Feldman shares her unique method of drama therapy, developed over more than 30 years working in the NYC school system, as well as her moving and inspiring case histories.

This book will support all professionals working with children and adolescents, including creative arts educators and therapists, psychotherapists, school counselors, parents, and teachers, and illustrates how to help teens learn crucial coping and relationship skills moving them toward new and productive ways of being. Through compelling case histories based on Feldman’s work with thousands of hard-to-reach adolescents, this book models empathy for youth behavior.
