Drama has been established as a creative arts therapy and an action-oriented psychotherapy, and valued as an educational tool, but it has not been widely recognized as a school guidance and counseling approach. This thesis supports why school guidance counselors should incorporate dramatic techniques derived from the drama therapies in school guidance and counseling. An in-depth review of literature covers the history, theory, method, and practice of psychodrama, drama therapy, and Bibliodrama. Literature reveals that drama can provide many rich opportunities to explore a myriad of guidance and counseling needs for children and adolescents. A method for the school counselor that integrates techniques from psychodrama, drama therapy, and Bibliodrama is theoretically proposed.
