Summary "This book provides a rigorous and comprehensive account of primitive expression in dance therapy, focusing on the use of rhythm and exploring traditions of popular culture throughout the world such as rock, rap and hip-hop dancing. Drawing on the author's vast experience in the field of dance therapy, the book examines biological, psychological and anthropological foundations of rhythm based therapies, considering their roots in biological rhythms such as the heartbeat and using such rhythms in therapy. Chapters include: - The link between animal and man: ethology - Shamanism - Gestural symmetry coupling with the other - Bilateralism as structuring dialogue - Rhythm dance therapy - New fields in the application of dance therapy. Clinical examples are provided throughout the book to comprehensively demonstrate how dance rhythm therapy can contribute to the use of the arts therapies. It offers a fresh perspective for researchers, psychotherapists and clinicians who want to use dance therapy techniques, as well as arts therapists and those who want to learn more about artistic and cultural dance"-- Provided by publisher.
