AbstractThis article offers a personal account of loss and how improvised movement in a studio and outdoors offered sacred holding through grieving. The author shares vivid descriptive accounts of dancing through grief, ‘at the edge’ as she calls it; yielding to gravity and meeting the stories, memories and emotions that flooded and engulfed her in the wake of the loss of her mother. Losing a loved one is an existential experience all of us must face one day. This intimate presentation of the author’s experience invites the reader to consider how looking death and traumatic loss in the face, turning to empathy and compassion for ourself and to an embodied ecological practice, cracks us open and creates the ground for a reconfiguration of self. Such a sensory arriving to the power of the more-or-other-than human may serve us professionally, she argues, at times of overwhelm such as those we are living through currently.Keywords: Movement improvisationoutdoorsgrievinggravitycompassion for selfsacred Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsCéline ButtéCéline Butté is an UKCP and ADMP UK Registered Dance Movement Psychotherapist and Supervisor, Teacher, Practice-led Researcher and Dancer.

AbstractThis research study is an initial exploration of ways in which principles of dance movement therapy practice can be used in South Africa. Culturally-relevant principles in dance movement therapy practice were identified in an earlier phase of the study and informed a short-term group intervention within a transdisciplinary research team that dealt with water resources management. The research question for this phase of the study focused on the experiences of members of this group: How did researchers from a water resources management transdisciplinary environmental research group program in South Africa experience their participation in a group that adopted selected, culturally-sensitive dance movement therapy principles and practices? Hermeneutic phenomenology provided the methodological framing. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis influenced the identification of themes. We conclude that principles of dance movement therapy have relevance in multiple and diverse ways within environmental transdisciplinary teams, beyond typical therapy contexts.Keywords: Dance movement therapy/psychotherapyecopsychologycomplex social-ecological systemstransdisciplinaritywater resources managementcommunity engagementtraumaembodiment Author contributionsAll authors contributed to the final approval of the paper.Disclosure statementTwo of the three co-authors are qualified and registered dance movement therapists in their respective countries of residency.

Over the course of the last decade a growing number of clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate and demonstrate the efficacy and clinical utility of body psychotherapy for various mental health problems. The statutory provider landscape for psychological therapies does however rarely provide these therapies for patients; several factors have been identified for this mismatch and among those the lack of university-accredited academic training schemes constitutes a major limitation for wider dissemination and implementation within highly regulated health care systems. This paper explores an innovative pilot to establish a master’s programme in clinical psychology with a focus on embodiment in Turkey/Istanbul. The curriculum represents an integration of perspectives from various body psychotherapy schools. Findings of the pilot are encouraging and may serve as a template for the development of similar schemes with support from professional bodies such as the European and United States associations of body psychotherapy.

AbstractFrom a body psychotherapy perspective, clients are often seeking ways to cope with issues stemming from early traumas. Yet body psychotherapy is concerned with more than just helping people to become ‘untraumatised’; it endeavours to support the client’s reconnection with their essential nature, or core state, which is characterised by creativity, compassion, joy, curiosity, intuition, and playfulness. The purpose of this essay is to increase curiosity about, and contribute to the reflection on, the use of play in psychotherapy. By integrating theory, clinical vignettes, and the author’s personal reflections (as student, therapist and client), the author will explore how play can assist body psychotherapy clients with trauma-recovery, how it is implicit in a client’s progression towards vibrant wellbeing within body psychotherapy, and how (re)learning how to play can lead to radical change on both a personal and societal level.Keywords: Body psychotherapyplaysomatictraumabody Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Additional informationNotes on contributorsJessica EveJessica Eve is a trainee body psychotherapist with Cambridge Body Psychotherapy Centre.

AbstractThis article interweaves personal and professional experiences of embodied encounters with the more-than-human world. It presents ideas around the benefits of an eco-dance movement psychotherapy (EDMP) approach, particularly emphasising queer experiences and perspectives, interweaving perspectives which situate both embodiment and the climate crisis to be deeply entangled in social and political issues. I will consider how an EDMP approach can disrupt and support the unmaking of these embodied scripts and how situating the body as an embodied ecology can offer new ways of thinking, feeling, perceiving and imagining in kinship with the more human world. Dance movement psychotherapy (DMP), with its attention to the embodiment, felt sense, and relationship, can offer us a radical way to emotionally wake up to our interrelation to the more than human earth.Keywords: Queer kinshipbeyond binarieseco-dance movement psychotherapy Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
