Abstract
For the 60th annual American Dance Therapy Association conference, Dance/Movement Therapy: Deepening Community Care “Planting seeds, extending branches, growing together”, the Research and Practice committee presents ten abstracts which feature new and innovative research from around the world. The Research and Thesis Poster Session is a vital component of the ADTA Conference, providing a platform for researchers and practitioners to share their work, exchange ideas, and connect with colleagues. The abstracts presented in this paper offer a variety of research approaches focused on topics such as dance/movement therapy and culturally informed practices, innovations in the Kestenberg Movement Profile, and dance /movement therapy and self-injurious behaviors in Taiwan.
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.
