Dance Therapy and Depth Psychology

Dance Therapy and Depth Psychology discusses the psychotherapeutic approach to dance movement therapy, a method first proposed by Jung in 1916. Later developed in the 1960s by dance therapy pioneer, Mary Whitehouse, it has become today's most popular form of dance therapy. In Dance Therapy and Depth Psychology, Joan Chodorow provides a detailed exploration of dance/movement as active imagination. Beginning with her own story, from her early work in dance, performance and teaching, to her growth as a dance therapist, psychotherapist, and Jungian analyst, Chodorow shows, in a more immediate way, how dance/movement is of immense value to the psychological development of patients and to psychotherapy in general.
