Developmental Transformations (DvT) is a form of drama therapy in which therapist and client(s) play together, their embodied play incorporating movements, sounds, pretend objects, and roles in theatrical scenes.

Objectives:
1. Students will be introduced to DvT, a form of drama therapy, integrating experiential learning in DvT demonstration sessions with verbal learning during discussions of the theory and practice of DvT.
