Instructor: Susan Loman, MA, ADTR, NCC

Course Description:  The Kestenberg Movement Profile (KMP), is a

used to describe personality, relational and psychological domains.
Dance/movement therapists and those trained in the KMP can apply its
concepts in their clinical/educational work by designing treatment plans and
implementing appropriate interventions based on the individual's movement
portrait.  Goals include helping the individual assess healthy choices and
coping skills through accessing strengths and broadening them.
