Dance Movement Psychotherapists may use
research to inform their own work, for instance to evaluate processes
and outcomes. Research findings are disseminated through conference
presentations and publications, in which both new and existing systems
can be explored.
Topics of DMP research can include evaluation and
effectiveness of clinical practice, the client/therapist relationship,
the place of DMP within a particular cultural frame, or clients’
perception of the DMP process. Research studies in the field use a
variety of methodologies including qualitative, quantitative, mixed
method, and arts-based approaches.
