- Description/content
- Dance Movement Therapy is the evidence-based use of dance and movement in therapy for promoting the physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and spiritual integration of individuals and systems of individuals. As an arts therapy approach it uses creative methods to engage clients and support their ability to express themselves, connect socially, and seek emotional well-being.
In both research and clinical practice, there is an increasing interest in dance movement therapy approaches as important additions to standard care. The professional context of dance movement therapists is not limited to traditional areas of practice such as psychiatry, psychosomatic medicine, or special education. Dance Movement Therapy is also applied to neurology, oncology, cardiovascular medicine, etc. It is also increasingly applied to preventive care. Dance movement therapists work in the following fields:
• psychiatry
• psychosomatics and psychotherapy
• neurology
• geriatrics
• forensic contexts
• paediatrics
• intensive medicine centres (for example, neurology, oncology, pain) and sub-acute care facilities
• psychosocial institutions for children and families with special needs, disabilities, and early intervention
• institutions of prevention and education (e.g. schools, youth offers, kindergartens)
