Susanne Bender provides a comprehensive insight into the theoretical foundations and therapeutic techniques of dance therapy. For the first time, she thoroughly presents the underlying concept of humanity in dance therapy, which is based on the unity of body and psyche, thereby filling a gap in the theoretical discussion. Through numerous case studies, the author introduces the creative and versatile methods and the key interventions of dance therapy, which include movement analysis, mirroring techniques, improvisation, as well as closed, semi-open, and open structures. At the core of dance therapy, Bender elaborates on the Chace method and authentic movement.
