Description

In Puppetry in Education and Therapy: Unlocking Doors to the Mind and Heart, one finds enormous variety, ingenuity, and creativity in the types of puppets, and the ways they are used in education and in therapy. Puppeteers, therapists, and educators, articulate what is meant by “puppetry in education” and “puppet therapy” and how it is the same or different from “puppet theatre” They describe the unique characteristics and theory of puppetry in education and therapy, the skills it takes to achieve success in these areas, the skills that are passed on to those who use puppets for personal expression, and how to assess the impact of puppets on learning or behavior change. Twenty-six authors discuss topics such as puppetry and the a couple of intelligences; the process versus the product; the usage of puppetry in schools to promote literacy, preserve cultural heritage, and teach music; how puppetry contributes to Core Curriculum Standards, the theoretical underpinnings of therapeutic puppetry, and a range of ways of facilitating growth and development. In case you are already the usage of puppets, this book will inspire you to take note your work in a different way and to explore new possibilities. In case you are a teacher or a therapist and you’ve never used puppets before, it’s going to open a whole world of possibilities. This book illustrates that puppetry arts can impact learning and behavior and that puppets indeed have the power to unlock doors to the mind and heart.
