Abstract

This exploration – conducted through a mixed-method case study – considered potential for dance movement psychotherapy (DMP) to have positive impact on psychological, social, relational and emotional stress factors in couples experiencing infertility, increasing their ability to improve their quality of life and reach their fullest potential. The researcher considers the concept that for those experiencing infertility, their progression to their full potential in terms of anticipated and imagined life is interrupted. Reflecting on the DMP experience as a journey of self-creation, perhaps DMP can help clients look beyond whether they achieve a pregnancy or not, and re-imagine themselves, thus move towards actualisation of a new unmet potential. The purpose was to establish efficacy of further research into DMP intervention with this population.
