Dramaterapie je v současnosti uznávaný obor s širokým využitím při práci s nejrůznějšími skupinami. V této knize představuje Sue Jenningsová dramaterapeutický přístup „léčebného divadla“ a popisuje, jakým způsobem je divadlo neoddělitelnou součástí naší kulturní zkušenosti, a jaké prostředky poskytuje při setkání s netvorem v srdci labyrintu. V konfrontaci s psychologickým a psychoterapeutickým pohledem, čtenáře pomocí základů dramaterapie přesvědčuje, že dramatický vývoj jedince je primárním procesem vývoje, formujícím pod vlivem kultury člověka od jeho početí. Zastává názor, že pomocí dramatu a divadla, stejně jako průzkumem vlastní „dramatické“ minulosti, se otevírá nová cesta k sebepoznání a k sebenaplnění, jakožto životaschopná alternativa k zaběhnuté praxi. Vedle mnoha příkladů kniha rovněž obsahuje cvičení a dotazníky použitelné v praxi se studenty nebo pro sebepoznání, které osvětlují vztah mezi divadlem, léčbou a teoretickými základy dramaterapie.
