Overview

An Introduction to Dance Movement Therapy in Psychiatry is the first full-length study of the subject. Beginning with the early history of the use of DMT with psychiatric patients, the author goes on to describe present-day theories and practice, using extensive clinical examples drawn from her own professional experience to illustrate differing theoretical approaches in action with both individuals and groups. The practice section of the book covers work with long-term patients, adult out-patients and DMT in child and family psychiatry. A detailed appendix surveying recent research into the movement profiles of specific diagnostic categories such as schizophrenia, depression, eating disorders and sexual abuse will be of particular value to dance movement therapists and psychiatrists.
