      abstract = {This book examines the history, ethics, and intentions of  staging personal stories and offers theatre makers detailed  guidance and a practical model to support safe, ethical  practice. Contemporary theatre has crossed boldly into  therapeutic terrain and is now the site of radical  self-exposure. Performances that would once have seemed  shockingly personal and exposing have become commonplace,  as people reveal their personal stories to audiences with  ever-increasing candor. This has prompted the need for a  robust and pragmatic framework for safe, ethical practice  in mainstream and applied theatre. In order to promote a  wider range of ethical risk-taking where practitioners  negotiate blurred boundaries in safe and artistically  creative ways, this book draws on relevant theory and  practice from theatre and performance studies, psychodrama  and attachment narrative therapy and provides detailed  guidance supporting best practice in the theatre of  personal stories. The guidance is structured within a  four-part framework focused on history, ethics, praxis,  andintentions. This includes a newly developed model for  safe practice, called the Drama Spiral. The book is for  theatre makers in mainstream and applied theatre,  educators, students, researchers, drama therapists,  psychodramatists, autobiographical performers, and the  people who support them.},
