Combining historical, socio-cultural and autoethnographic accounts from a range of different practitioners, this book explores the various roles that drama as therapy plays globally in education, in healthcare, in community settings and more .Across the world, there are thriving networks of practitioners whose work draws on dramatherapy (or drama therapy) – the intentional use of drama and theatrical practices as a tool for therapeutic change. This volume documents, describes and celebrates contemporary praxes of dramatherapy.Focusing on the experiences of individual practitioners situated in 6 different continents, the book features accounts of practice from over 15 countries, ranging from Argentina, to South Africa, India and Japan, besides many others. Each chapter offers an overview of the history of dramatherapy as a practice in that country, as well as reflections on the current social and institutional priorities in each cultural environment. Each writer provides a snapshot of the reality of practising as a dramatherapist in each locality, emphasizing the challenges and opportunities facing the field, through discussion, case studies and practical examples of how dramatherapy tools have been adapted to meet cultural demands.

This book provides an early exploration of the new field of disaster bioethics:examining the ethical issues raised by disasters. Healthcare ethics issues are addressed in the first part of this book. Large-scale casualties lead to decisions about who to treat and who to leave behind, cultural challenges, and communication ethics. The second part focuses on disaster research ethics.With the growing awareness of the need for evidence to guide disaster preparedness and response, more research is being conducted in disasters. Any research involving humans raises ethical questions and requires appropriate regulation and oversight. The authors explore how disaster research can take account of survivors? vulnerability, informed consent, the sudden onset of disasters, and other ethical issues. Both parts examine ethical challenges where seeking to do good, harm can be done. Faced with overwhelming needs and scarce resources, no good solution may be apparent. But choosing the less wrong option can have a high price. In addition, what might seem right at home may not be seen to be right elsewhere. This book provides in-depth and practical reflection on these and other challenging ethical questions arising during disasters.Scholars and practitioners who gathered at the Brocher Foundation in Geneva, Switzerland in 2011 offer their reflections to promote further dialogue so that those devastated by disasters are respected by being treated in the most ethically sound ways possible.

This book is part of the Images of England series, which uses old photographs and archived images to show the history of various local areas in England, through their streets, shops, pubs, and people. In this book, the author presents a unique record of this navigation's history, in operation from 1704 to the present day. By the early 19th century, the Leeds to Goole navigation was linking up with other new waterways in the area, and carried millions of tons of cargo annually, making it one of the most important waterways in the land.
