Abstract :

Dance/Movement Therapy is a type of psychotherapy which benefits from movement to further develop social, cognitive and physical aspect from individuals and groups. Therapist assess patients through their movement while simultaneously helping patients to develop body awareness, express their feelings, improve interaction and communication, integration of physical, emotional and social experience to create healthier self-esteem. DMT sessions may include warm-up, relaxation, illumination and evaluation. Therapists may use one or combination of several technique, mainly Freudian, Jungian or Object Relation. Other technique to help patients may include mirroring, visualization or physical storytelling. Effectiveness of DMT on various conditions has been recorded, while its psychobiological aspects are better understood through areas of neurological functioning, namely arousal and rest, emotional regulation, implicit and explicit memory, mirror neuron system and right/left brain integration.
