TOWARDS AN ENACTIVE DRAMA THERAPY: IMPLICATIONS IN THE COUNSELLING OF DISABLED CLIENTS
Revista Română de Filosofie Analitică May 14, 2026 Rareș Mihnea Iosifescu
Dramatherapy's mechanisms of change are poorly understood, which undermines its recognition as a legitimate therapy. This paper offers an enactivism-congruent, affordance-based account of dramatherapy, arguing that the mind is not brain-centered but situated within a dynamic system of body, environment, and interaction. The author suggests that disabled or differently abled clients may benefit more from such psychotherapies because they adopt a holistic outlook rather than a brain-centered approach.
