Towards an Enactive Drama Therapy: Implications in the Counselling of Disabled Clients

Mechanisms of change in dramatherapy are poorly understood, compromising its bona fide therapy status. Given growing attention to how alternative frameworks of cognition might inform mental health practices, I aim to provide an enactivism congruent and affordance-based account of dramatherapy. A secondary aim is to suggest why disabled or differently abled clients might benefit more from such psychotherapies that veer from a brain-centered approach to a holistic outlook that situates the mind within a dynamical system.
