Beschreibung

Blanche Evan's holistic philosophy places dance and movement at the core of the therapy process. Delving into the history and development of Evan's comprehensive therapy model, the authors detail the novel contributions of her theories and methods to mind/body integration and expressive arts therapies.

Evan's professional history and innovations are explored, from dancer, choreographer, and creative dance educator for children, to the emergence of her depth-oriented dance/movement therapy. Case vignettes, illustrations, and photos illuminate how integrating expressive dance and movement with verbal communication in therapy opens new resources for psychophysical transformation, trauma resolution, and meaningful life change. The authors' contemporary applications of Evan's psychophysical therapy methods highlight their effectiveness in addressing clients' emotional, social, and physical struggles. Evan's humanitarian vision is discussed in relation to current sociocultural challenges, psychotherapy theories, and research supporting integrative models of health.

Essential for dance/movement therapists, psychotherapists, creative arts therapists, somatic practitioners, dance educators, and those seeking greater body/mind integration for personal growth, this accessible book offers inspiration and insight into the transformative power of Blanche Evan's dance/movement therapy.
