Abstract

ABSTRACT This article investigates power dynamics in dance movement therapy (DMT), potential blind spots layered into the discourse about power in the profession, and underexplored aspects of the manifestation of power in the therapeutic setting. The research highlights a tendency in the field of DMT towards oppositional thinking and suggests the necessity to hold space for a non-binary approach to the matter. The findings of this study suggests that if dance movement therapists work to deepen their awareness of the implications of their own socio-cultural backgrounds and theoretical frameworks on their embodied approaches to the therapeutic and human relationship with their patients, they will be better able to practise embodied ethical decision-making in an ever more globalised world.

舞蹈运动疗法中的力量动力学

本文探讨了舞蹈运动疗法(DMT)中的权力动力学、职业权力话语中潜在的盲点，以及治疗环境中权力表现的未被充分探索的方面。该研究突出了DMT领域的对立思维趋势，并建议有必要为非二元方法留出空间。这项研究的结果表明，如果舞蹈动作治疗师努力加深他们对自己的社会文化背景和理论框架对他们与患者的治疗和人际关系的具体化方法的影响的认识，他们将能够更好地在日益全球化的世界中实践具体化的道德决策。
