Rather than using a standardized protocol that makes the decisions for the therapist, drama therapy is based on dynamic, embodied, creative action with participants in the here and now. Conscious planning on the part of the drama therapist before the session supports spontaneity and creativity, preparing them to make good therapeutic decisions in the moment during the session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening section guides readers through the foundational principles leading readers into Section Two, \u003cem\u003eThe Decision Tree\u003c\/em\u003e, which is a series of questions for early career drama therapists to ask themselves as they prepare treatment plans for clients. \u003cem\u003eDiversity, Equity, and Ethics\u003c\/em\u003e are covered in Section Three from the point of view of creative arts therapy practitioners.
