 Stephen Snow, PhD, RDT/BCT
Dr. Snow has been a leader in the field of Drama Therapy for nearly two decades. In 1991, he established the first professional line for a Drama Therapist in New York State’s Office of Mental Health. In 1996 and 1997, respectively, he co-founded The Centre for the Arts in Human Development and the Graduate Drama Therapy Program at Concordia University in Montreal, where he is presently Chair of the Department of Creative Arts Therapies.
Dr. Snow brings a very strong background in Theatre to his work in Drama Therapy, having acted roles in more than one hundred theatre productions in professional, educational and community theatre. His two self-revelatory one-man shows, Seething Brains, exploring images of madness in Shakespeare and his own life, and, Nightride in the City, focusing on his experience of driving a taxicab at night, in New York City, in the 1970s, have been performed in New York, London, Montreal and Albuquerque, New Mexico. He is the originator of a unique approach to therapeutic theatre and, over the past twenty-five years, has directed thirty such productions with the frail and well elderly, at-risk youth, children and adults with psychiatric disabilities, adults with intellectual and developmental challenges, and the blind and vision-impaired. He has published on this work in books and journals, such as Dramatic Approaches to Brief Therapy (1996), The Arts in Psychotherapy (2003) and Current Approaches in Drama Therapy (2000, 2009), and has presented on it internationally, most recently, at the University of Cairo (Egypt), the University of Padua (Italy), the University of the West Indies (Jamaica) and the University of Peradeniya (Sri Lanka). Dr. Snow is the recipient of both the Gertrud Schattner Award for Distinguished Service to Drama Therapy and the Research Award from the National Association for Drama Therapy. He is also a co-recipient of the Innovation and Research Award from the American Association for Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. In 2009, after ten years of research, he published a co-edited and co-authored book, Assessment in the Creative Arts Therapies: Designing and Adapting Assessment Tools for Adults with Developmental Disabilities (C.C. Thomas). Presently, he is coordinating a collaborative research project in Sri Lanka, using Theatre and Drama Therapy to promote empathy and dialogue between Tamil and Sinhalese in the post-war period. Dr. Snow is also a certified yoga instructor in the Sivananda tradition and a graduate of the International School of Playback Theatre. |
