Study of the necessity of a Compromised Integrated Program of Dance Movement Therapy and Dialectic Behavior Therapy

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to seek the necessity of an eclectic integrated program through theoretical consideration of the concepts of dance movement therapy and dialectical behavior therapy and integrated approach counseling. The results of this study are as follows: First, it can be seen that the eclectic integrated program of dance movement therapy and dialectical behavior therapy can be applied more effectively to subjects suffering from emotional and interpersonal problems. Second, the integration of cognitive behavior therapy and dance movement therapy can be complementary to the intervention of dance movement therapy through movement in cognitive behavior therapy, which has limitations in verbal access. Third, the integration of existing psychotherapeutic models is the integration of common factors in which programs are attempted by finding common principles in two or more therapeutic models, which can overcome the limitations of specific psychotherapeutic models. Accordingly, the common factors of dance movement therapy and dialectical behavior therapy were analyzed, and the use of integrated methodology of body, emotion, cognition, and social parts, the use of awareness and awareness methodology, and the use of non-verbal treatment methods such as movement and behavior were common.
