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, the book examines the points of
convergence between 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.
