- Synopsis
-
The field of dance/movement therapy has long awaited a book, such as this one, which gives us detailed clinical material on specific patient populations. Fran Levy's first book, Dance/Movement Therapy: A Healing Art, provided a strong practical, historical, and theoretical foundation on which this book firmly stands. All of the selections that follow have been written by recognized leaders and contributors to the field.
Expressed in language that appeals to the heart as well as the mind, the book addresses immediate and pressing clinical concerns. Technical jargon is kept to a minimum, and, when used, is always defined. Throughout the book, the needs of patients are carefully considered and creatively met through the courage and perseverance of each therapist. Thoughtful and sensitive descriptions of the individuals discussed allows for an unusual intimacy between the reader and the patient. The authors believe that the experience of movement, on both symbolic and expressive levels, can transform individuals and guide their journeys to recovery.
