Dance and Creativity within Dance Movement Therapy (eBook, ePUB)

International Perspectives

Redaktion: Wengrower, Hilda; Chaiklin, Sharon

Beschreibung

Dance and Creativity within Dance Movement Therapy discusses the core work and basic concepts in dance movement therapy (DMT), focusing on the centrality of dance, the creative process and their aesthetic-psychological implications in the practice of the profession for both patients and therapists.

Based on interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary inputs from fields such as philosophy, anthropology and dance, contributions examine the issues presented by cultural differences in DMT through the input of practitioners from several diverse countries. Chapters blend theory and case studies with personal, intimate reflections to support critical descriptions of DMT interventions and share methods to help structure practice and facilitate communication between professionals and researchers.

The book's multicultural, multidisciplinary examination of the essence of dance and its countless healing purposes will give readers new insights into the value and functions of dance both in and out of therapy.

Rezensionen

"Heartfelt admiration and appreciation to Sharon Chaiklin and Hilda Wengrower as they envision and co-create a completely new edited collection together with leading members of the international Dance/Movement Therapy community. The reader is a privileged witness."

Joan Chodorow, PhD, BC-DMT, author of Dance Therapy and Depth Psychology: The Moving Imagination

"The editors offer a precious and original contribution to the development of new perspectives for DMT in the contemporary world. It is an effective tool to update as a dance therapist and also to dialogue with colleagues from other professions in light of shared scientific acquisitions. New research and applications testify to the vitality of this discipline within different cultures. This book represents an important didactic support for dance movement therapists and a stimulating encounter for other experienced professionals."
