Abstract

This paper describes the need for a transpersonal drama therapy method, and explores the possibilities of what they may look like. The end result will be the creation of a new transpersonal model of drama therapy out of a synthesis of a transpersonal psychologist's ideas and the method of a drama therapist. The work connects the concepts of the Diamond approach in transpersonal psychology with the of Johnson's developmental transformation method in drama therapy. This work advocates that we should not only define spiritual wellness but also incorporate and integrate its construct within our field. As drama therapists we need to become more aware and sensitive tot he spiritual dimensions that exist within all of us, to take into account the existence of spiritual aspects of personality and to embrace this resource for growth and change through the use of transpersonal drama therapy.
