Creative Arts Therapy: Dance/Movement Therapy Specialization
Master of Arts degree, 90.0 quarter credits
About the program
Dance/movement therapy is a body/mind-integrated
approach to psychotherapy that uses expressive dance and movement processes
to encourage the integration of emotional, cognitive, social, and physical
functioning. Dance/movement therapy emphasizes the non-verbal realm of
movement, touch,
rhythm, and spatial interactions, as well as the congruence and connections
between verbal and nonverbal modes of expression.
Students build a strong foundation of theoretical knowledge and clinical
application in dance/movement therapy (DMT).The program teaches
and balances the art of DMT with the science that supports it. Using diagnostic
knowledge, developmental and systems theories, and observational skills
based in Laban Movement Analysis, our students learn to assess client
functioning and formulate treatment goals. Using their expertise in the
dance/movement modality and interactive, improvisational processes, students
learn to address the patient’s needs in both group and individual therapy
formats.They may design creative group tasks for fostering interaction
and cohesion, or to guide an individual through a personal conflict or
challenge.
