(Helping Essential workers Reclaim roles Online) Unmasking was a virtual drama therapy protocol designed to support frontline healthcare workers (re)connect to part of their humanity overshadowed by the role of the Healthcare Hero during the COVID-19 pandemic. The intervention, grounded in Role Theory, sought to provide immediate relief and meaning making through embodied storytelling. This pilot study utilized a quasi-experimental mixed methods design to measure the effect of the protocol. The Integration of Stressful Life Experiences Scale-Short Form was implemented. A dependent t-test did not yield statistical significance from pre-test (17.26) to post-test (20.47), although a medium effect size (0.64) was found. Post-test scores suggested that participants demonstrated more adaptive meaning making after the workshop. A small sample size (n = 19) likely impacted the ability to find statistical significance. Qualitative results produced prominent themes of transformation, connection and joy. Clinical implications and future directions are discussed.","PeriodicalId":42254,"journal":{"name":"Drama Therapy Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43873978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue that a public practice of drama therapy might be informed by decolonizing methods, liberation psychology, third spaces, public practice art therapy and the Art Hive model. A case vignette of Drama Hives is presented to highlight our experimentations with drama therapy as a form of public practice that might offer a more holistic approach to care that is complementary to the movement for decolonization. The article concludes with a discussion on the futurity of public practice drama therapy and its research implications.","PeriodicalId":42254,"journal":{"name":"Drama Therapy Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48296007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this conceptual article, the author explores the ways in which online drama therapy utilizes aesthetic distance and dramatic reality. The author theorizes how these concepts translate into an online space without breaking the relationship between therapist and client/group that is already being hindered by the literal distance, the lack of body involvement and the mediation of technology and the screen. Through discussion of the existing literature on aesthetic distance and fantastic/dramatic reality, the author examines these concepts through the lens of the online setting, providing some thoughts that might be of use when planning an online session.","PeriodicalId":42254,"journal":{"name":"Drama Therapy Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46669735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Masks as a projective technique may provide a greater sense of safety in a forensic setting to support the participant’s experience while exploring their family drama. An autoethnographic response to the implementation of this protocol is processed through art and written response.","PeriodicalId":42254,"journal":{"name":"Drama Therapy Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49288611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
