Využitie dramatoterapie v práci s dospelými a seniormi so zdravotným znevýhodnením v rezidenciálnych podmienkach
Use of dramatherapy in work with adults and seniors with health disabilities in residential facilities

Summary/Abstract: In this paper we discuss the use of dramatherapy in work with seniors and adults with health disabilities (not only) in residential facilities. Dramatherapy can be considered as a special educational or social rehabilitation tool, which focuses on influencing people with health disabilities. The elements of drama and theater are used in dramatherapy as a therapeutical tool, which aims to shape the personality of the individual as well as his or her behavior and attitudes. The aim of dramatherapy is to develop conscious experience, to support relaxation, to alleviate symptoms of mental disorders and social problems as well as to support personal social growth and personality integration. It may help seniors to strengthen their memory and find their own values. One section of the paper deals with teatrotherapy, which aims to place emphasis on the theatrical product and theatrical performance in front of the audience.
