Dance therapy

When and why did man start dancing? What role has dance had in the history of mankind and what role does it have today? Does it have medicinal effects? What defines dance therapy and its contemporary currents? What therapeutic factors are common to dance therapy and other somatically oriented therapeutic directions? These are the basic questions that the author asks and answers. In the introduction, the monograph focuses on the social role of dance and dance rituals from prehistoric times to the modern era, introduces selected forms and techniques of dance therapy, including their theoretical background, and looks for points of contact between dance-movement therapy and other therapeutic directions. The final part places dance-movement therapy in the system of psychotherapeutic directions that use art for healing. Professional, yet readable publication will appeal to psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrist, pedagogies, special educators, dance professionals, students of these disciplines and all lovers of dance.
