Quotes

‘A friend and colleague of mine (an assistant professor of child psychology) asked me to translate a certain book about dramatherapy and that was the beginning of my journey into this world. The whole field was totally new to me until I finished translating ‘Creative Drama for Emotional Support.’ And it was the first time also to get to know the author, Penny McFarlane. I admired her work so much that I wished to introduce it to my language and culture.

Then, I wanted to get deeper into that world and started to translate another book by Ms. McFarlane: ‘Dramatherapy and Family Therapy in Education’. I really appreciated that kind of work, especially the multi-agency teamwork which provides so much attention to the child and the family.

It is my fervent wish that these two translated books will be a real introduction of her work to my country’.
