Theatre in Health and Care

This unique book examines theatre practice that takes place within a range of health and care settings from medical training to advocacy projects for service users. Drawing on a range of case studies, the book provides insights into working practices as well as posing critical questions in relation to the field.

In Theatre in Health Care, Dr. Emma Brodzinski presents an excellent overview of the ideas, approaches and practices currently being used in the U.K. Her sociological, psychological and other academic references are truly global and these help to place UK practice in a global perspective.
