Summary/Abstract: Mechanisms of change in dramatherapy are poorly understood, compromising its bona fide therapy status. Given growing attention to how alternative frameworks of cognition might inform mental health practices, I aim to provide an enactivism-congruent and affordance-based account of dramatherapy. A secondary aim is to suggest why disabled or differently abled clients might benefit more from such psychotherapies that veer from a brain-centered approach to a holistic outlook that situates the mind within a dynamical system.
