| dance movement therapy training: Authentic Movement Patrizia Pallaro, 1999-05-01 Patrizia Pallaro's second volume of essays on Authentic Movement, eight years after her first, is a tour de force. It is indeed an extraordinary array of papers, as Pallaro puts it, and an immensely rich, moving and highly readable sweep through the landscapes of Authentic Movement, this form of creative expression, meditative discipline and/or psychotherapeutic endeavour. You don't need to practice Authentic Movement to get a lot out of this book, but it certainly helps! I defy anyone to read the first two sections and not be curious to have their own experience.' - Sesame Institute 'Authentic Movement can be seen as a means by which analysts can become more sensitive to unconscious, especially pre-verbal aspects of themselves and their patients.' - Body Psychotherapy Journal Newsletter 'This book is a collection of articles, some of which are interviews, brought together for the first time. It is very valuable to have them all together in one place...It is a wonderful collection of articles on topics you have always wanted to read, such as the role of transference in dance therapy or Jung and dance therapy. The book also includes scripts for exercises.' - Somatics Authentic Movement, an exploration of the unconscious through movement, was largely defined by the work of Mary Starks Whitehouse, Janet Adler and Joan Chodorow. The basic concepts of Authentic Movement are expressed for the first time in one volume through interviews and conversations with these important figures, and their key papers. They emphasize the importance of movement as a means of communication, particularly unconscious or 'authentic' movement, emerging when the individual has a deep, self-sensing awareness - an attitude of 'inner listening'. Such movement can trigger powerful images, feelings and kinesthetic sensations arising from the depths of our stored childhood memories or connecting our inner selves to the transcendent. In exploring Authentic Movement these questions are asked: - How does authentic movement differ from other forms of dance and movement therapy? - How may 'authentic' movement be experienced? |

| dance movement therapy training: Dance Therapy and Depth Psychology Joan Chodorow, 2013-06-17 Dance/movement as active imagination was originated by Jung in 1916. Developed in the 1960s by dance therapy pioneer Mary Whitehouse, it is today both an approach to dance therapy as well as a form of active imagination in analysis. In her delightful book Joan Chodorow provides an introduction to the origins, theory and practice of dance/movement as active imagination. Beginning with her own story the author shows how dance/ movement is of value to psychotherapy.

| dance movement therapy training: Fair Play Eve Rodsky, 2021-01-05 AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK Tired, stressed, and in need of more help from your partner? Imagine running your household (and life!) in a new way... It started with the Sh*t I Do List. Tired of being the “shefault” parent responsible for all aspects of her busy household, Eve Rodsky counted up all the unpaid, invisible work she was doing for her family—and then sent that list to her husband, asking for things to change. His response was...underwhelming. Rodsky realized that simply identifying the issue of unequal labor on the home front wasn't enough: She needed a solution to this universal problem. Her sanity, identity, career, and marriage depended on it. The result is Fair Play: a time- and anxiety-saving system that offers couples a completely new way to divvy up domestic responsibilities. Rodsky interviewed more than five hundred men and women from all walks of life to figure out what the invisible work in a family actually entails and how to get it all done efficiently. With 4 easy-to-follow rules, 100 household tasks, and a series of conversation starters for you and your partner, Fair Play helps you prioritize what's important to your family and who should take the lead on every chore, from laundry to homework to dinner. “Winning” this game means rebalancing your home life, reigniting your relationship with your significant other, and reclaiming your Unicorn Space—the time to develop the skills and passions that keep you interested and interesting. Stop drowning in to-dos and lose some of that invisible workload that's pulling you down. Are you ready to try Fair Play? Let's deal you in. |

| dance movement therapy training: Social Justice in Dance/Movement Therapy Laura Downey, Susan Kierr, 2022-12-18 This book demonstrates the use of dance/movement therapy to directly counteract social injustices and promote healing in international settings. It also demonstrates the potential for dance/movement therapy in prevention and wellness in clinical and community settings. The use of improvisational and creative dance is presented throughout the book as a tremendously clear, strong and powerful inroad to healing in every setting. The chapters in this book do not directly address social justice in dance/movement therapy, but rather provide provoking social justice related positions. This call for a provoking re-examination of the definition of dance/movement therapy is fitting as we—as a community—challenge our identity as dance/movement therapists, educators, supervisors and as human beings who have internalized oppression in various forms through our many identifiers and the unique intersections of those identifiers. The editors and authors posit that social justice cannot be fully addressed by focusing solely on the social issues. Rather, we must be aware of where and how the social issues come into the individual(s), the setting, and the therapy process itself.

| dance movement therapy training: Moving on - the Art of Embodiment Jane Guthrie, Kim Sargent-Wishart, Angela Clarke, 2021-02-28 Brimming with the voices of experienced practitioners, this heart-led publication celebrates embodied intelligence and shares multiple body-oriented practices that deepen connection and create conditions for humans to thrive. This publication stems from the investigations and spirit of Thinking Bodies: Moving Minds, a symposium on the art of embodiment. It was held in Melbourne at the historic Abbotsford Convent, the perfect venue for a rich program of deeply experiential movement workshops, thoughtful presentations, discussions, and reflections on a wide range of approaches to embodied practice. Professionals from the fields of Dance Movement Therapy, Body-Mind Centering®, Creative Arts Therapy, somatic psychotherapy, yoga, improvisational dance, performance, visual arts and more came together to share and deepen practice. In this inaugural book of the Moving On series, a fruitful collaboration between the Dance Therapy Association of Australasia (DTAA) and the Body-Mind Centering® Association (BMCA), the breadth of experience in our writers is palpable and the cross- fertilisation of ideas is sophisticated and infectious. Author biographies display a group of highly engaged, dedicated practitioners, many of whom have acquired multiple qualifications, as well as gained expertise in several modalities and specialist practices. This collective wisdom, underpinned by years of training, is evidence of a mature community that takes seriously the processes of thinking bodies and moving minds. What emerges are diverse offerings that make a significant contribution to the field and lead us closer to the ephemeral art of embodiment. Two years on, the world has turned itself inside out in response to a global pandemic and the catastrophic effects of climate change, and our life circumstances have profoundly changed. As uncertainty continues to plague us, connecting with ourselves, others and our environments has never been more important. |

| dance movement therapy training: My Body, My Wisdom Tripura Kashyap, 2005 Dance has been integral to human life since prehistoric times. As babies, we use movements to explore the environment and ourselves. It is only as we grow older that we become conscious of our bodies and our movements become task-oriented. Dance therapy, recognized as a distinct therapeutic discipline since the 1940s, attempts to unlock our bodies capacity to communicate through the use of creative movements. By getting people to move freely and allowing them to develop their own body language, it aims to reveal hidden emotions and begins the process of self-expression. My Body, My Wisdom is an easy-to-use guide to this exciting form of therapy. Taking the reader through the history, philosophy and practical aspects of dance, or movement therapy, it attempts to de-mystify the discipline and make it accessible to the lay reader as well as the practitioner. Can dance therapy be used for people of all ages and abilities? How can it be used best with special needs people? Can Indian dance forms be adapted for therapy? How should a therapy session be structured? What kind of music and props can be used? This book answers all these questions and much more. With detailed descriptions of over a hundred movement activities and games accompanied by illustrations, this handbook is for all those who wish to break out of the restrictions imposed by society on our bodies. |
