Abstract

In respect and in honor of the power that is innate in every human being, this paper explores the possibility of integrating two different fields never before combined, Drama Therapy and Emotional Intelligence. Both put faith in the whole individual and emphasize the importance of fully developing one's potential as a human being. Both fields open up the possibility of positive transformation and use different tools to accomplish this goal. The intention of this paper is to create a Preventative Program based on Drama Therapy techniques that are designed to promote Emotional Intelligence in schools. Schools are the intended environment for parents, teachers and children to use the program to work together towards self-healing and inner transformation. The topics included in this paper are: a relevant literature review of Emotional Intelligence Theory and Self-Science curriculum, a study combining Drama Therapy methods and lessons taught by the Self-Science curriculum and the final development of a Preventative Program
