A Review of the Application Research of Dance Therapy
Dance Movement Therapy (DMT), as an important branch of expressive arts therapy, promotes the integration of an individual's emotions, cognition, physiology, and sociality through non-verbal means such as body movement, dance, and improvisation, achieving psychological healing and health improvement. In recent years, domestic research on this topic has become increasingly abundant, with intervention subjects covering both general and special populations, and intervention settings spanning various fields including universities, medical institutions, drug rehabilitation centers, and elderly care facilities, forming a diverse research landscape. This review, based on existing research literature, systematically summarizes the application effects, intervention characteristics, and research prospects of DMT, providing references for practice and research in this field.
