Effectiveness of Dance Movement Therapy

Dance therapy is a unique phenomenon that allows people to experience dance and movement at the same time. Dance therapy is a type of treatment that employs advancement to assist individuals in achieving feelings and intellectual, physical, and interpersonal integration. Moving is well-known to be beneficial to both the body and the mind. On a nonverbal level, the concrete and representational aspects of a given experience can then be approximated to communication and behavior. The body movement (conscious and unconscious) of the person, based on the mind-body dualistic premise, affects total functioning. This core combined effect is a very powerful experience that occurs developmentally in dance as an art form, as well as in ritual and therapy structure as a moment of real-world experience, experiential awareness, and change. In the vernacular, these moments are analogous to when everyone together forms them. These are the times because once experience is managed it can carry forward to a higher level of learning, growth, and transformation. This vital human experience, which has the potential to be transformative, is the concurrent experience of the authentic and the symbolic, which dance may be able to provide. In other words, the actual knowledge of the body at any given time can be combined with the thought structure of symbolization.

  • Promotes calm: A psychologist can use Dance Movement Therapy to just provide muscle ways to help the system down-regulate and this creates a greater sense and trying to keep very calm.
  • Self-awareness: Increasing Self-awareness can help with eating disorder treatment by allowing people to feel more attuned to their bodies' physical cues. Focus on the body helps the client develop the awareness needed to recognize emotional and physical food cravings and fullness sensations.

  • Coping skills: Dance Movement Therapy can also be used to teach coping skills that can be used even outside therapy. With the therapist's guidance, you can use movement and an understanding of someone’s movement desires to explore your positive aspects and signs of stress, frustration, and triggers.

  

Dance Therapy can be used to treat several physical and mental issues



Techniques


  • Assist you in exploring and making sense of your relationship with both movement and your emotions.
  • Encourage the monitoring of physiological arousal and breathing.
  • Assist you in navigating self-expression and improvisational movements.

It may be helpful to describe this same clinical self-control of Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) here. Theories of ultimate expression, development of humans, creativity, but also movement studies, as well as a broad range of psychotherapy and theoretical counseling approaches, inform the work.

 


These manifest in DMT practice based on the therapist's training and education, as well as the needs of an individual patient or group of patients. The body of work assessed the effects of DMT was indeed impressive, especially given the number of trained, highly qualified practitioners worldwide, the time of life of the specialist area, and the fact that there are a few intellectual DMT places in colleges and universities. Conducting research there are some emerging trends, but also more work is required. Importantly, all conceptual recent publications have advised that future medical studies use designs and practices that will improve the quality of the evidence reported. There are several priorities to recognize as the DMT research plan moves forward and the guidelines below address only a few of them.

 

 

Dance Movement Therapy research trends appear to mark benefits with regard to emotion specifications (e.g., reducing anxiety, depression, stress, and fatigue, and increasing vitality and positive emotions). Self-image and social support specifications are mentioned in studies with cancer survivors. This view leads to one idea for an encompassing DMT research focus: focus studies, groups of studies, and study findings aggregation on outcome variables rather than specific clinical populations. To increase the power of the experiments and thus the overall strength of the substantiation for DMT effectiveness, the global communities of DMT researchers may be wise to start concentrating on mood/emotion variables and relationship variables, for which skills for the betterment are already documented.
