Course Title: Dance/Movement Therapy In Healthcare: PREVENTION, TREATMENT & AFTERCARE 25 hrs
This
dance/movement therapy theory and practice course covers the role of
dance/movement therapy in the prevention and treatment of illness, and
in the maintenance of health and well being. This course will be
divided into three sections to cover the dance/movement therapy
principles and applications specific to prevention, to treatment, and
to aftercare. In the section on prevention, this course focuses on
dance/movement therapy contributions to health and well being in
response to the somatic, emotional and cognitive consequences of stress
and trauma. The section on treatment addresses dance/movement therapy
in a medical context and as an adjunctive treatment for illness. The
section on aftercare focuses on the role of dance/movement therapy in
coming to terms with treatment outcomes, creating new choices, and
finding new meaning. All sections will focus on self regulation, self
expression, and self in relationship, all fundamental to health and
well being. The specific attention throughout to body awareness,
creativity, and attunement, will amplify aspects of dance/movement
therapy theory and practice, as well as provide a foundation for a
somatically oriented psychotherapy practice.
