The Art and Science of Dance/Movement Therapy: Life is Dance

The Art and Science of Dance / Movement Therapy offers both a broad understanding and an in-depth view of how and where dance therapy can be used to produce change. Chapters are written by experts from around the world and focus on topics as diverse as dance/movement therapy with closed-head trauma, oncology and children, schizophrenia, eating disorders, family therapy systems of observation, and more. Both experienced and new DMT practitioners will find it invaluable, and other creative arts therapists and professionals in the education and mental-health fields will be able to incorporate its lessons in understanding human behavior and its nonverbal expression.
