{"title":"Resistance as an Invitation to Tighten the Therapeutic Relationship Using a Dynamic, Empathetic Movement Approach","authors":"Tami Seifert, Shlomit Yaron","doi":"10.1007/s10465-021-09349-8","DOIUrl":"10.1007/s10465-021-09349-8","url":null,"abstract":"<div><p>Resistance necessarily erupts in a surprising, spontaneous and authentic manner, manifested as an emotionally powerful, often physical phenomenon. Resistance signifies the client's unwillingness to participate in the therapeutic process. Scholars have tried to understand resistance, and proposed therapeutic interventions. The present study relies on Kohut's approach to the \"self-object\" as the relationship for consideration. A mixed-methods paradigm using quantitative and qualitative tools, collected therapists' viewpoints on their clients' resistance patterns, to clarify therapists' coping methods, when facing, different emotional, behavioral and physical resistances. It also investigated whether clients could be equipped with professional tools to provide a space for anchors, alternative innovative viewpoints, variation of emotional, behavioral and movement expressions and other ways of expressing the resistance experience. Respondents included 14 occupational therapists, 23 para-medical carers and 17 students on a group leaders' course. Data were collected from questionnaires, eliciting therapists' reactions to resistance situations, and perceptions of the resistant client and from the therapists' observations, reflective writings, case presentations and works on children resisting therapy. Findings indicate that learning in an experiential workshop, field work and reflective writing altered therapists' perceptions of resistance as expressed in movement, behavior and emotions. There was a change in the therapeutic relationship and the intervention methods, and in the therapist's self-image and professional identity. This study alters the image of the resistant other, being perceived not as belligerent, but rather as struggling to experience their self and to express their inner world.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":44552,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN JOURNAL OF DANCE THERAPY","volume":"43 2","pages":"132 - 156"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s10465-021-09349-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42620565","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}

A novel cross-sectional design survey was administered between November 2018 and December 2018. Participants were predominantly female (96%), White (81%), with the largest group in private practice (35%) (<i>N</i> = 310). The majority of participants believed that dance/movement therapists have an opportunity to respond to the opioid crisis (86%) and improve OUD-related care in their own practice (61%). Yet a striking number did not report routinely screening (68%), providing SUD-focused interventions (41%), referring for addiction care (75%), or administering naloxone (87%). Conclusions found that attitudes toward OUD care are incongruent with actual clinical practices. Future studies to identify the best pathways for dance/movement therapy training in addiction care are warranted.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":44552,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN JOURNAL OF DANCE THERAPY","volume":"43 2","pages":"115 - 131"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s10465-021-09350-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47781025","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}
