Moving Moments in Childhood
A Dance/Movement Therapy Lens for Supporting the Whole Child
About this book
Moving Moments in Childhood provides a roadmap to truly understanding and embodying mental and physical health for children through the lens of dance/movement therapy.
This book explores fifty real therapeutic stories focusing on anxiety, pain, neurodivergence (including the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder) and learning differences, sibling dynamics, parenting challenges, and chronic illness in childhood. These individualized stories delve into the benefits of supporting the mind/body connection using dance/movement therapy, and each chapter includes diagnostic insights and hands-on strategies to use in therapy sessions, in schools, and at home. The book also includes research on etiology, diagnosis, therapeutic theory, and treatment methodology.
Moving Moments in Childhood highlights the transformative potential of therapeutic movement for a child's mental, physical, social, and psychological health and is an indispensable guide for mental health professionals, educators, and their clients.
