Abstract Psychological flow can be experienced in various occupational, recreational and creative domains and may confer increased well-being. Yet, very few studies have examined flow as a potential feature of creative arts therapies – particularly therapies which prioritise embodied/enactive processes. This study tested the acute effects of a 90-minute workshop (Arts for the Blues; A4B) on participants’ (N = 18) mood and personal goal attainment. Psychological flow was measured, and participants rated the importance of flow in relation to A4B’s psychotherapeutic aims. Results show significantly improved mood, increased goal attainment and substantial flow scores, suggesting that A4B processes may invoke flow. Participants’ importance ratings of different flow dimensions indicate that some were considered as more important than others. Results are discussed in relation to methodological limitations, helpful creative therapeutic factors that may enable flow, and implications for researchers and practitioners who wish to encourage flow in their practice.

Abstract This Finnish study examined the impacts of a group-form dance movement therapy intervention on the social functioning, attachment styles, and embodied experiences during social situations of its participants. The sample consisted of Finnish working-age adults with diagnosed depression who were randomised into intervention and control groups. Participants responded to surveys at three measurement points: pre- and post-intervention, and a follow-up 3 months later. The quantitative results showed that social functioning increased in the intervention group between the pre-intervention and follow-up measurement points but there was no change in attachment styles. The embodied experiences of participants during social situations were analysed qualitatively. The prevalence of avoidant reactions and insecurity decreased between the pre-intervention and follow-up measurement points. This study deepens understanding of the embodied experiences depression sufferers encounter in social situations, and provides insight into the ways in which dance movement therapy may be effective in decreasing depressive symptoms.

Abstract Psychomotor Interventions Program (PIP) is defined as a treatment that uses physical activities to solve problems. This study aims to inform the efficacy of a PIP in typically developing children from 3 to 10 years. This systematic review evaluated twelve studies which met inclusion criteria in terms of participants characteristics, intervention procedures, data collection methods, assessment tools, results and intervention outcomes. Twelve selected studies contained a variety of motor proficiency, motor competence, social competence, self-concept and emotional competence. These studies presented the effect of a PIP in different domains of child development. Children’s motor profile can have a positive effect after the first two months of implementation of PIP, but for other domains in children's personality a longer duration and frequency is proposed. We can conclude that a PIP plays a significant role in child development and it can be a crucial tool in daily kindergartens and nurseries programs.

Abstract For body pychotherapists (as well as other therapy practitioners working expressly with the body), the unprecedented challenges which have arisen from having to relate via the screen has given rise to much debate and confusion about the efficacy of any somatic-centred therapeutic process offered online. For practitioners accustomed to working with the energies and expressions of the body, what happens to us and our clients when we work in a context wherein the body cannot wholly be seen (and can certainly not be touched)? This article will explore the some of the common threads which have been emerging for practitioners and clients who are working virtually in online body psychotherapy sessions. By integrating theory, clinical vignettes and the author’s personal reflections (as therapist and as client), the author will address some of the arising issues and establish ground for further debate on the implications of relating online via virtual platforms.

Abstract The Open Studio model (OS) in Art Therapy (AT) has proven to be an empowering community setting, but its particular implications for dance movement therapy (DMT) have yet to be examined. This study examines DMT OS framework and the type of facilitation which would create a safe environment and encourage creative expression through the body. 16 elementary school children participated in six DMT OS meetings. The study materials included session transcripts, comprised of verbal discourse and movement qualities, and transcripts of the facilitators’ discussions before and after the sessions. Three themes emerged: flexible and focussed guidance, planed and spontaneous use of projective accessories and transitions between visual expression and expression in movement. The discussion examines the similarities and differences between the characteristics of AT OS and DMT in order to examine the possibility of an applied model in movement and dance.

Abstract Children who have experienced sexual trauma carry body memories not recorded in the mind. In such circumstances, the trauma is expressed in actions, with no ability to speak it and give it meaning or interpretation. The article describes manifestations of the dissociation mechanism in childhood and the significance of attention and sensitive orientation to embodied knowledge, for achieving a life not governed by the trauma. The ideas of Anne Alvarez accompany the theoretical thinking throughout the article.

Abstract This systematic review aimed to verify the quality of analyses using PRISMA guidelines and evaluate the effectiveness of dance/movement therapy (DMT) interventions in individuals with intellectual disabilities. As search engines, Medline, PubMed, and Web of Science were used to select the studies under specific requirements. We also used the American Journal of Dance Therapy as an additional search. Five studies were selected after the final screening. Regarding the levels of evidence (LOE), two studies had an LOE of 3 and three studies had an LOE of 4. The risk of bias (ROB) through quality assessment of controlled intervention studies showed a high ROB in all selected studies. Although the results showed the low LOE and high ROB, the selected studies reported that DMT interventions improved motor skills, body knowledge, emotional well-being, skin temperature in fingers, and muscle relaxation in individuals with moderate to severe IQ from young adults to middle-aged adults.
本系统综述旨在验证使用PRISMA指南的分析质量，并评估舞蹈/运动疗法(DMT)干预对智力残疾患者的有效性。使用Medline、PubMed、Web of Science作为搜索引擎，选择符合特定要求的研究。我们还使用了美国舞蹈治疗杂志作为额外的搜索。在最后的筛选后选择了5项研究。关于证据水平(LOE)，两项研究的LOE为3，三项研究的LOE为4。通过对对照干预研究的质量评估，偏倚风险(ROB)在所有入选研究中均较高。虽然结果显示低LOE和高ROB，但所选的研究报告称，DMT干预改善了青年到中年中重度智商个体的运动技能、身体知识、情绪幸福感、手指皮肤温度和肌肉放松。

Dance theatre as a sup-portive for survivors ’ . Cancer patients commonly experience global distress, depression, anxiety and problems with adjust-ment. This dance project is a cross-over between dance therapy and per-forming dance theatre combined with psychotherapeutic elements to enhance coping processes. Sixteen men participated in the project and were self-selected. The results show that anxiety symptoms were significantly reduced and the level of distress and depressive symptoms slightly improved during the project. The results of the interviews revealed positive effects of the dance project in terms of coping with late effects, physical strengthen-ing, emotional disclosure, developing personal empowerment and increased self-esteem. Further studies are warranted to build on this prelimin-ary research.
