This special issue gathers innovative approaches to working with embodied experiences of oppression through body, movement, and dance psychotherapy. Articles in the collection highlight how questions of power, privilege and difference are embedded within, and enacted through, embodied encounters with clients and explore how therapists navigate their own social locations and identifications in the therapeutic relationship. The articles selected for this special include research papers, case studies, clinical reflections, and theoretical essays that help to deepen our understanding of how the body is implicated in oppressive social dynamics and how it may also serve as an essential resource in cultivating capacities for resistance, resilience, and accountability. In keeping with the scope of the journal, contributors are drawn from many countries, and from within higher education as well as clinical practice. We are particularly pleased to include authors whose voices and perspectives have historically been under-represented in the field. In Diversity and culture as psychophysiological phenomena and states of being, Tom Warnecke explores the psychophysiological phenomena associated with diversity and culture in the therapeutic relationship and considers ways to constructively engage with their complex dynamics. The author argues that while many therapists still neglect diversity and culture as key elements of client/therapist engagement, the client’s experience of feeling ‘culturally met’ seems crucial to a genuinely attuned therapeutic relationship. While body psychotherapy has begun to research the embodied experience of oppression and explore models for working somatically with the traumatic impact of oppression, the field has yet to address how somatic psychotherapy can support clients in navigating the embodied experience of internalised oppression (specifically, negative beliefs about the self which originate in oppression). In Working with internalised oppression through body psychotherapy, Rebecca Holohan presents a new theory for working clinically with internalised oppression which addresses the gap in the research by exploring how somatic awareness, sensation tracking, and somatic resourcing can support individuals in cultivating resistance and resilience.","PeriodicalId":43755,"journal":{"name":"Body Movement and Dance in Psychotherapy","volume":"4 1","pages":"1 - 3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82465974","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}

Internalised oppression can contribute to anxiety, depression, identity confusion, and feelings of inferiority, among other mental health concerns. While the field of body psychotherapy offers models for using somatic approaches to address the traumatic impact of oppression, there is a gap in understanding and addressing the embodied experience of internalised oppression. This paper will explore, discuss, and offer ideas for how the somatic psychotherapy interventions of body awareness, sensation tracking, and somatic resourcing can address internalised oppression and support clients in developing increased capacity for regulation, self-love, and empowerment in the face of ongoing oppression.

Without doubt, the field of psychotherapy, and particularly body psychotherapy, lost one its great pioneers when David Boadella passed over on 19th November 2021. He will be remembered for ‘Biosynthesis’, the body psychotherapy approach with roots in embryology he created, but equally, or perhaps even more so, for numerous ground-breaking insights and visionary conceptions which influenced and shaped the psychotherapy field far beyond his Biosynthesis modality or indeed the institute in Switzerland he set up together with his wife Silvia Specht Boadella. After studies in pedagogy, literature and psychology, and an early career as a teacher, David Boadella completed a training analysis with the Reichian vegetotherapist Ola Raknes. He began to develop his approach soon after, at first as the director of the ‘Institute for the Development of Human Potential’ in London, and at the first Biosynthesis Institute from 1983 onwards. At a time when the psychotherapy field was rife with ‘schoolism’, and often fierce competition for some supposedly ‘superiority of psychotherapy methods’, he not just argued but actively pursued cooperation, cross-modality discourse and mutual learning, and thus became a pioneer for what would eventually become known as ‘humanistic-integrative’ perspectives. The journal Energy & Character he founded in 1970 became not only a forum for cross-modality discourse within the field of body psychotherapies, but also the primary somatic psychotherapy journal for several decades. Furthermore, he pursued his vision of cooperation and integration through professional umbrella organisations and in 1989, he was duly elected as the first President of the European Association for Body Psychotherapy (EABP). He was also a founding board member for the ‘European Association for Psychotherapy’ (EAP), the European umbrella organisation created in 1992, where he also served as the chairperson of the EAP ‘Scientific [modality] Validation Committee’ for a time.

Trauma was conceptualised as a multi-layered, complex phenomenon for the lived and collective body, isolation, and adaptive survival, reflecting DMTP’s understanding of experiences of individual and systemic harm, the enactive self, dissociation, neurobiology, human rights and wider context. Trauma implicated bodily, intrapsychic, relational, communal, social, economic and structural realms. Goals were safety, freedom, pleasure and agency. Dance was a flexible, multimodal, gestalt container for simple-yet-complex interventions linking inner sensing, creative exploration and enactive movement to meaning-making and cognitive and identity restructuring. Therapeutic competence, ego and relationship to power shaped DMTP’s work with individual and collective trauma. DMTP might consider how to better communicate its approach to treating trauma, relevance of therapist/lived-experience, professional and collective identities and enactive healing-justice approaches to sexual violence.","PeriodicalId":43755,"journal":{"name":"Body Movement and Dance in Psychotherapy","volume":"8 1","pages":"34 - 53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88798041","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}

The present work tried to bridge this research gap in relation to training and development in children. This study has focused on understanding dance movement therapy’s role in training children with the concept of body privacy, at the same time developing healthy body image, and facilitating communication skills in them. Qualitative techniques were employed for data collection and analysis purpose. The findings were intriguing in terms of evaluating dance movement therapy as a training process to teach children body privacy concept, which can further find its application in school counselling and various other child training and intervention programmes.","PeriodicalId":43755,"journal":{"name":"Body Movement and Dance in Psychotherapy","volume":"96 1","pages":"280 - 293"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85301529","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}

Particular significance is attributed to subtle involuntary movements, called shadow movements, which in 6 effort-combinations, explained by Marion North, can reveal pre- and non- symbolic unconscious material, and might support its symbolic expression and therapy progression. The portrayal of a dance movement psychotherapy family vignette aims to explain the Dynamic countertransferential mechanism. Familiarity with personal movement profile and competence to sieve through objective and subjective countertransference are important prerequisites for its efficient use. Not only does this apply to Dynamic, but also to the use of Kinetic countertransference, which we find to be significantly different. However, both concepts might be regarded as part of Somatic Countertransference, a still under-researched but crucial area for a thorough use of countertransference phenomena, especially in dance movement psychotherapy.","PeriodicalId":43755,"journal":{"name":"Body Movement and Dance in Psychotherapy","volume":"81 1","pages":"266 - 279"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83948469","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}

How we do move from our internal space to the external one, reachable with our extremities (kinesphere)? How does the internal space shape the external one while we carry out our daily actions, those we perform while working or while moving for fun, sport, leisure or passion? The global vision of the person, starting from one’s physical and mobile dimensions, is presented through the powerful narration of stories in the form of parables. We are led on the journey by a thread of stories. We are presented characters that come from very different places and contexts. Estelle, who lost her sight and gradually regained trust in her body and ability to deal with the possible obstacles in her daily life. The relevance of environment and culture on our wellness, is told by the story of the “two Graces: both teachers, same age, one from Australia and the other from Indonesia, with totally different body experience. Dianne, who showed up to be a talented dancer and grew up in a house with many mirrors. Lex who works on a construction site. Lauren a bright little girl born with a brain damage, and so on. As often happens in life, attention is awakened by a problem, a pain, a physical difficulty that forces us to stop what we usually do, such as sport, work, artistic activity, etc. Stories come from Leslie’s and Julie’s lives and professional practices, practices from their colleagues and from Moshe Feldenkrais’s recordings of his work. His revolutionary approach to movement is a fundamental element of the book. Especially as regards the concreteness of his concept to health: nobody can be guaranteed a perennial state of good health. Accidents and traumas inevitably affect us during our lives. Feldenkrais used to define health as the ability to heal from trauma by welcoming the new way of being that the trauma prompted us to discover. According to Feldenkrais, a new edition of ourselves is possible: the chance to live our deepest dreams, both the conscious and the unconscious ones. It is a matter of choice.
