A multifaceted clinical resource on dance/movement therapy and trauma

Edited by Rebekka Dieterich-Hartwell, this volume brings together theoretical, clinical, neurobiological, and cultural lenses on dance/movement therapy (DMT) for psychological trauma. Clinical examples ground discussions of dance, creative movement, and body awareness across contexts including sex trafficking, military service, refugee experiences, and multigenerational trauma. The collection also foregrounds how power, privilege, oppression, and sociocultural circumstances shape trauma work, positioning practitioner self-reflection as part of trauma-informed care. A concluding roadmap addresses the continuing development of healing-centered DMT.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Dance/movement therapists and other clinicians working with trauma
  • Mental-health professionals seeking body-based approaches to trauma care
  • Students and practitioners interested in culturally contextualized trauma-informed practice

Book overview

This book offers a timely, detailed, and comprehensive synopsis of dance/movement therapy (DMT) in the treatment of psychological trauma.

Along with the foundational concepts of DMT, tied to traditional trauma theory and a neurobiological framework, contributions contain rich clinical examples that illustrate the use of dance, creative movement, and body awareness with a wide variety of populations including survivors of sex trafficking, military veterans, refugees, those with multigenerational trauma, and others. Chapters emphasize the underlying influences of power, privilege, and oppression on trauma, prompting practitioners to consider and understand the dynamics of sociocultural contexts and engage in continuous self-reflection.

Featuring multiple perspectives, as well as cultural and contextual considerations, this book provides direct takeaways for clinicians and professionals and concludes with a roadmap for the trajectory of trauma-informed, healing-centered DMT.
