Abstract
This phenomenological study explored the clinical experiences of Korean dance movement therapists working with individuals with developmental disabilities, focusing on therapists’ physical, emotional, and professional experiences. Interview data and visual artwork were collected from six dance movement therapists. Qualitative analysis identified 42 subcategories, 13 categories, and 5 themes: (a) body play as a driving force for psychophysical development, (b) limitations in the clinical field due to multiple factors, (c) struggles and threats to professionalism in evaluation, (d) cultivating professionalism and interpersonal support to overcome clinical challenges, and (e) qualities and roles for professional life. This study aimed to provide vivid descriptions conveying the clinical experiences of dance movement therapists working with individuals with developmental disabilities in Korea, where dance/movement therapy continues to grow in clinical and academic fields.
