[Adta] Intercultural awareness, cultural integration and acculturation - reply to DMT in middle schools

[Sara Boas]

While not specifically related to work in schools, my recent book chapter is
relevant to the question posted by Patrizia Pallaro about the use of DMT in
facilitating intercultural awareness, cultural integration and
acculturation. Here is the full reference and a brief description:

"The Body of Culture: Transcultural competence in Dance Movement Therapy",
Boas, Sara, 2006. In H. Payne, ed. Dance Movement Therapy: Theory Research
and Practice. 2nd edition. London: Routledge, 2006, 111-130. This
commissioned book chapter presents a framework for understanding the
knowledge, skills and attitudes that support effective and ethical working
practice across cultural boundaries. It is written for the professional
therapist and provides a detailed insight to the research basis of the boas
transcultural competenceT model, together with its application in daily
work. The chapter provides guidelines for professionals working in
international and multicultural settings.  

Warm wishes, 

Sara Boas
