This book demonstrates the use of dance/movement therapy to
directly counteract social injustices and promote healing in
international settings. It also demonstrates the potential for
dance/movement therapy in prevention and wellness in clinical and
community settings. The use of improvisational and creative dance
is presented throughout the book as a tremendously clear, strong
and powerful inroad to healing in every setting. The chapters in
this book do not directly address social justice in dance/movement
therapy, but rather provide provoking social justice related
positions. This call for a provoking re-examination of the
definition of dance/movement therapy is fitting as we-as a
community-challenge our identity as dance/movement therapists,
educators, supervisors and as human beings who have internalized
oppression in various forms through our many identifiers and the
unique intersections of those identifiers. The editors and authors
posit that social justice cannot be fully addressed by focusing
solely on the social issues. Rather, we must be aware of where and
how the social issues come into the individual(s), the setting, and
the therapy process itself. Chapter "'Breaking Free': One
Adolescent Woman's Recovery from Dating Violence Through Creative
Dance" is available open access under a Creative Commons
