Posthuman Possibilities of Dance Movement Psychotherapy : Moving through Ecofeminist and New Materialist Entanglements of Differently Enabled Bodies in Research Hardback
by Caroline (Goldsmiths University of London, UK) Frizell
Part of the Routledge Research in Creative Arts and Expressive Therapies series
Hardback
Description
This timely book explores an eco-feminist approach to dance movement psychotherapy, with an emphasis on the posthuman possibilities of differently enabled bodies and fostering social, political and environmental justice. Using the lenses of posthumanism and new materialism, this book examines the points of convergence among dance movement psychotherapy, eco-psychotherapy and critical disability studies.
It maps out the experience of building care, empathy and kinship and explores ecologically informed, embodied practices and research while offering new perspectives on these practices.
Structured using thematic ‘interruptions’ between chapters to anchor the reading experience and provide coherence, chapters include case study extracts as examples from the practice, spanning group work and individual therapy with autistic and learning disabled children and young people, as well as with neurotypical adult clients in private practice. Bringing together practice and research in dance movement psychotherapy along with cutting-edge theoretical perspectives of new materialism and posthumanism, the book will be of great interest to researchers and students of dance therapy, arts therapies, eco-psychotherapy and disability studies.
It will also be useful to practitioners and therapists in psychotherapy and well-being services.
