{"title":"Dance/Movement Therapy for Infants and Young Children with Medical Illness: Treating Somatic and Psychic Distress","authors":"Rima Faber","doi":"10.1080/15290824.2023.2210444","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15290824.2023.2210444","url":null,"abstract":"Tortora and Keren clearly love very young children. Throughout their book, Dance/Movement Therapy for Infants and Young Children with Medical Illness: Treating Somatic and Psychic Distress, they demonstrate intuitive knowledge of the child’s experience without forfeiting scientific information. They understand and respect the feelings and perspectives of the child and also demonstrate empathy for the quandaries and behaviors of parents who are traumatized by the suffering of their infants and toddlers. The underlying current of their success is how they communicate both non-verbally and verbally in their process. Tortora and Keren challenge medically held notions that young children don’t remember the pain of early childhood. It is becoming increasingly clear that the brain, mind, and body remember psychologically and physically traumatic events, consciously or not. Lifelong behaviors may therefore be greatly affected by early painful experiences, especially those in which pain is repeated such as in medical treatments for childhood diseases or surgery. Each of the 12 chapters focuses on a case study of the therapeutic principles reported. Dance/Movement Therapy sessions with fourteen children, ages prenatal to four, are described with compassion for the infants, toddlers, preschoolers, parents, and medical caretakers. Sessions are private, but there are indications of group gatherings, not described. Studies present not only a “how to,” but a “why to” with examples that depict both simultaneously. Primarily, chapters have a common structure: presentation of a case study, clinical discussion of the situation, introduction to the chapter content, breakdown of content, and conclusion. The final chapter summarizes key points; four appendices provide details about DANCE and MSDMT (see below). The Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT) tools described in the book include more than dance. Sessions involve play with objects, music, rhythms, songs, and play-acting. The focus of the techniques is to initially sense the infant/child’s present traumatized behaviors, discretely establish nonverbal communication without intrusion or obstruction, and layer an individual approach to gradually relate more directly and calm the situation. Tortora has developed a structured approach called Dyadic Attachment-Based Nonverbal Communicative Expressions—DANCE. This is a fully developed Multi-Sensory Dance Movement Therapy (MSDMT). There is one difficult aspect of the book for a dance artist such as myself. Perhaps it is customary in scientific/medical circles, but the number of acronyms is dizzying, so I constructed a reference list to help. In the authors’ favor, they repeat their meanings occasionally and title chapters using full names. Drs. Tortora and Keren both write from strong professional biographies with years of experience and recognition for their work. Tortora holds an EdD and is a board-certified Dance/Movement Therapist specializing in the field of infant mental h","PeriodicalId":37209,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dance Education","volume":"47 1","pages":"268 - 268"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139364299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Essentials of Dance Psychology","authors":"Jenny Seham","doi":"10.1080/15290824.2023.2196505","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15290824.2023.2196505","url":null,"abstract":"Essentials of Dance Psychology satisfies the promise of its title with an impressive, thoroughly researched, and meticulously organized volume that certainly could, as the author suggests, be (1) the foundation of a course in dance psychology, and (2) of great utility to dancers, dance teachers, dance psychologists, therapists, professors, and researchers. The introduction offers an important definition of dance psychology as “the scientific study of mind and behavior as they pertain to dancers, teachers, and dance practice” (2), elaborating on the myriad ways that this general construct is conceptualized. Nordin-Bates defines the overall aim of dance psychology as “enhancement of a range of performance-related and well-being related outcomes” (3). She places dance psychology in a genre inclusive of sports and performance psychologies, thereby elevating the field to its rightful place. The author appropriately integrates evidence-based knowledge and research from disciplines of sports and performance psychology without subsuming dance psychology into fields that historically have had greater attention. Nordin-Bates presents fourteen chapters organized into four parts for easy reference: Part I: Personality, Perfectionism, Self-Esteem and Self-Confidence, and Performance Anxiety; Part II: Motivation, Attentional Focus, and Creativity; Part III: Mindfulness, Goal Setting, Self-Regulation, and Imagery; and Part IV: Motivational Climates, Talent, Injury, and Body Image and Disordered Eating. The introduction and each chapter start with clearly articulated objectives that outline what the reader will be able to describe, understand, and use in practice. Each concludes with key points and recommendations as well as critical aspects of research on the chapter’s topic. Each of these offerings contributes to the excellence of this book as a graceful guide for learners and teachers. The section which discusses critical aspects of research succeeds at guiding, elegantly advocating for, and supporting the growth of the field. The writing is stellar, filling gaps of decades of marginalization or absence of any significant research belonging fully to the field of dance psychology. Adding to the readability and flow of the book is the inclusion of charts, quotes, illustrative black-and-white photos, case studies, and tables with danceand dance research-specific examples. For example, in a SMART Goals table, the S stands for the specificity of a goal, such as “to be able to perform a complex movement sequence while staying on the beat all the way through” (177). Other tables offer practical exercises and ways to measure constructs such as creativity, stress, and talent development. The book also contains a glossary of terms, chapter-bychapter references, and a comprehensive index for easy location of topics. Although Essentials of Dance Psychology provides a wealth of extremely well-grounded, well-researched, and organized information, it is not, nor does it pro","PeriodicalId":37209,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dance Education","volume":"23 1","pages":"269 - 269"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49007352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
