Title and description from publisher metadata.

"In this training video, Dr. Stephen Snow demonstrates expressive arts and ethnodramatherapy techniques with a group of developmentally disabled adults. Snow, with the aid of art therapists, guides the group through therapeutic mask-making, music, dance, poetry, and playback theater to build a live performance, helping them publicly reject the stigma of childhood taunts and promote healing. Not only does ethnodramatherapy support the expression and growth of the group, Snow maintains, but it also facilitates social change through direct contact with the experience of "people who don't often get a chance to tell their own stories." You will find educational commentary, personal interviews, and an epilogue by Snow, including ways to incorporate expressive arts, poetry, music, and dance into work with adults with developmental disabilities. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions."
