Description
Dance/movement as active imagination was first explored by Carl Jung in 1916. This approach has since evolved into a form of dance therapy and active imagination in analysis, with key developments in the 1960s. In her book, Joan Chodorow provides an introduction to the origins, theory, and practice of this dynamic approach. Chodorow's work begins with her own story, highlighting the value of dance/movement in psychotherapy. The author then delves into Jung's foundational concepts, followed by a recent depth psychological synthesis of affect theory based on the work of Sylvan Tomkins, Louis Stewart, and others. This book offers a comprehensive overview of the use of dance/movement as active imagination in practice. The therapeutic relationship is explored through the movement themes that emerge and the non-verbal expressive aspects of this approach. By examining these elements, readers can gain a deeper understanding of how dance/movement can be used to support psychotherapy.
