Book
Description
Dance Therapy and Depth Psychology discusses the
psychotherapeutic approach to dance movement therapy, a
method first proposed by Jung in 1916. Later developed in
the 1960s by dance therapy pioneer, Mary Whitehouse, it
has become today's most popular form of dance therapy.
In Dance Therapy and Depth
Psychology, Joan Chodorow provides a detailed exploration
of dance/movement as active imagination. Beginning with
her own story, from her early work in dance, performance
and teaching, to her growth as a dance therapist,
psychotherapist, and Jungian analyst, Chodorow shows, in
a more immediate way, how dance/movement is of immense
value to the psychological development of patients and to
psychotherapy in general.

Editorial Reviews
Rachel Naomi Remen MD, author of Kitchen Table
Wisdom: Stories That Heal
Dance As A Healing Art is a powerful tool for anyone who
wants to find joy in living with an altered body.
Jean Shinoda
Bolen MD, author of Close to the Bone: Life-Threatening
Illness and the Search for Meaning
Anna Halprin's Dance As A Healing Art is a remarkable
gift of herself to workshop leaders and people with
cancer. Dance as authentic movement that can tap into
deep emotions and archetypal images was the means Anna
herself used to recover from her own recurrence of cancer
twenty years ago. For the next two decades, she led
workshops for people with cancer that were profound,
healing experiences. Now, she has distilled wwat she
learned and taught into acccessible chapters. She leads
us in dance as a healing art and we can now follow her
steps.

A Customer Review
How to Deal With Gravity, August 17, 2000
Reviewer: A 1-year old reader from
USA
Gravity is the most influencial force in our lives. Eric
Franklin's Dynamic Alignment Through Imagery deals how to
move in the gravity field.
I am not a professial dancer. But I am approaching
walking the 4.0 minute mile using body images in
Franklin's book as a guide for good alignment. This
imagery that moves your body parts better keeps your
interest. It is fun. Right now I am working on hip
motions images.
How much do I like it? I bought five copies to give to
my children so they could share good alignment with my
grandchildren. So, they all will know how to deal with
and make peace with gravity.

Synopsis
Dance movement therapy is the use of creative movement
and dance in a therapeutic alliance. It uses the
relationship between motion and emotion as a vehicle
through which an individual can engage in personal
integration towards a clearer definition of self. During
the last 10 years, dance movement therapy, along with the
other arts therapies, has consolidated as a separate and
valid therapy in health, education and the voluntary and
social services. "Dance Movement Therapy"
offers dance movement therapists and students, as well as
allied professionals, an insight into state-of-the-art
DMT practice in the UK. The first book to document UK
practice, it aims to provide a clear and balanced picture
of representative work in the field, from its use with
the mentally ill, learning-disabled and emotionally
disturbed, through to high-functioning adults. Including
both descriptive accounts and those based on research and
academic scholarship, they highlight the different
methods used within different settings. No one particular
model is stressed. This book should be of interest to
professionals in training and in practice in dance
movement therapy, mental health and education.
