From the book’s back cover:
The first comprehensive scientific handbook of Dance Movement Psychotherapy (DMP) in Greek literature. Rich in bibliographical references and explanatory tables, it covers:
• the history of DMP in the USA, where it originated, but also how it is currently taught and applied in Europe,
• the psychological theories that have formed the basis of DMP since its inception, as well as its new influences from interpersonal neurobiology and mindfulness,
• key elements of the methodology used in practice, and
• a detailed analysis of Rudolf Laban’s entire system of human movement analysis—translated into Greek—along with the influences and contributions of W. Lamb, I. Bartenieff, and J. Kestenberg, which is the most basic diagnostic and therapeutic intervention tool for Dance Movement Psychotherapists.
A book that lays the foundation for further research, writing, and scientific inquiry in the field of DMP in Greece, and which is a concise, comprehensive guide to what DMP is today.
“Anastasia has pursued knowledge as a practice, personally and professionally, since I first met her in the MA in Dance Movement Psychotherapy program at the Laban Centre in London, UK, in 1998. She brings to a comprehensive, movement-based therapeutic field her passion, intelligence, joy, and constant desire to help others on their journey of self-discovery and healing. I am confident that this overview of Dance Movement Therapy in Greek—which includes both its applications and some of its tools – will be useful to many in Greece who will discover a comprehensive text that treats movement and dance as an integrated practice.”
