Abstract:	Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six registered, practising dramatherapists. A phenomenological stance to data analysis is adopted in order to gain a detailed account of the participants' lived experience regarding the research topic. Analysis of data takes place in accordance with the principles of Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis. The results concluded there were a number of factors required for consideration by the dramatherapist when implementing therapeutic boundaries. The themes, boundaries and structure of a session, therapeutic process, and dramatherapy process and techniques were shown to be significant for the emotional containment and safety of the client. Consequently, knowledge and expertise in these areas was viewed as essential for the safe use of therapeutic boundaries.
