About this title

About the Author:

Sue Jennings, Ph.D., is a state-registered dramatherapist, playtherapist, and personal coach in the UK. She works with groups and individuals in Glastonbury, Somerset, where she has a private practice. She also facilitates workshops and vacation courses in Transylvania, Romania, where she has established a center for young Roma and Romanian children in an endeavor called Project Wolf. The program for people with mental illness is based on stories, music, and drama. Sue integrates goddess stories and myths through symbols, masks, and rituals in her workshops.

Sue is a social anthropologist and lives with her children in the Malaysian rainforest, gathering data for her doctoral thesis. Sue’s philosophy of life and work is nature theater play, which emphasizes the importance of play and creativity in an environmental context. In her own recovery from breast cancer and depression, she experienced the importance of the integration of the natural world with cultural forms and feels that in her 60s, it has given her a new lease on life.

Many of Sue’s books have been translated into Greek, Korean, Danish, Hebrew, Russian, and Italian, including Introduction to Dramatherapy, ISBN: 1853021156; Introduction to Developmental Playtherapy, ISBN: 1853026352; and The Handbook of Dramatherapy, ISBN: 0415090563.
