Abstract

Dance/movement therapy (DMT) research requires creative and innovative thinking; this paper includes two parts demonstrating this. Part one describes and delves into the creative problem solving process undertaken over 2.5 years. Four main steps were followed towards developing an intervention session plan for a first-of-its-kind DMT study in treatment resistant depression: (i) Examining pre-existing knowledge: Reviewing insights gained from clinical practice and formal literature. (ii) Assessing the need for preliminary studies: This step demonstrates how to determine and navigate the potential need for preliminary studies in novel research. (iii) Integrating existing and new research: I discuss Watson’s (Watson, Sociological Research Online 25:66–83, 2020) braiding technique and how it may help integrate insights from steps one and two. (iv) Reviewing outputs: This includes examining the developed session plan by conducting a fidelity and biases check. Each step presents reflective questions that ultimately contributed towards protocol development. The questions listed may also be a beneficial guide to novice DMT researchers embarking on novel research.

舞蹈/运动疗法研究中的问题解决：为有抑郁症耐药性的成年人制定干预方案

舞蹈/运动疗法（DMT）研究需要创造性和创新性思维；本文包括两个部分来展示这一点。第一部分描述并深入探讨了历时两年半的创造性问题解决过程。在为首次针对耐药性抑郁症的 DMT 研究制定干预计划时，主要遵循了四个步骤：(i) 检查已有知识：回顾从临床实践和正式文献中获得的见解。(ii) 评估初步研究的必要性：这一步骤展示了如何确定和引导新研究中对初步研究的潜在需求。(iii) 整合现有研究和新研究：我讨论了沃森（Watson，《社会学研究在线》25:66-83，2020 年）的编织技术，以及该技术如何有助于整合第一步和第二步的见解。(iv) 审查成果：这包括通过进行忠实性和偏差检查来审查已制定的会话计划。每个步骤都提出了反思性问题，这些问题最终促进了计划的制定。列出的问题也可以为开始新研究的 DMT 研究新手提供有益的指导。

期刊介绍： American Journal of Dance Therapy informs the international mental health community on the latest findings in dance/movement therapy theory, research, and clinical practice by presenting original contributions, case material, reviews, and studies by leading practitioners and educators in the field. The journal, reflecting the dramatic expansion of the profession over the last half-century, publishes timely articles on working with new populations, changing goals, innovative techniques, and new methods of training. Current professional issues, outcome research, and assessment tools are also examined and evaluated. This biannual forum encourages dance/movement therapists and allied mental health professionals to test their theoretical premises and share their ideas. It is a valuable resource for administrators, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and creative arts therapists in the disciplines of music, art, and drama.
