Abstract
In dance/movement therapy, methods are based on the experiential process of embodiment and founded on the understanding that the body deeply informs consciousness. Clinical interventions are effectively and flexibly employed with a wide range of populations across the developmental spectrum. Dance/movement therapy interventions involve shifting attentional states and moving in deeper relationship to self and others; clinical practices include attuned interoceptive sensing, somatic awareness, interactive dance, and authentic movement. This article considers dance/movement therapy approaches in light of affective neurobiology research on vagal and biochemical regulation, interoception, empathy and attunement, memory and affective systems, and brain lateralization. It includes current research, clinical vignettes, and narrative discussion regarding new theoretical insights and treatment applications.
