American Journal of Dance Therapy Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Growing evidence suggests that dance/movement therapy is a promising approach for the management of complex medical conditions such as chronic pain. However, there is a lack of understanding about the specific factors and pathways through which dance/movement therapy exerts its therapeutic effects on chronic pain outcomes. In this paper, we present the key mechanisms of dance/movement therapy for chronic pain management that were derived from a mixed methods grounded theory study. We discuss each mechanism in relation to both the existing relevant literature and supporting quotes from the research participants. We conclude by discussing implications for the design and implementation of clinical interventions with this population and offer suggestions for future research.

Notes

  1. Mechanism refers to specific interaction between various biopsychosocial components/factors through which DMT produces its therapeutic effect.

  2. This term was adapted from the concept of ‘self-fulfilling prophesy’, which originally referred to the phenomenon in which a strongly held belief that is actually false may have a sufficient effect on people that they act correspondingly so that they ultimately fulfill the once-false conception: Merton 1948).

  3. According to Monika Fludernik’s definition, narrativization is an action, putting the property of narratives as something outside of the text which is imposed on it, thus constructing, rather than reviling, it as a narrative (Fludernik 1996).

  4. This exercise was adapted from the “where does it hurt?” training exercise by Goodill (2005).
