Dear Jenn,
I agree that learning about neuroscience is vital in our work. There's
actually
one person who has begun to write about interoception. That's Bessel
van der
Kolk. p 287. Clinical Implications of Neuroscience Research, 2006.
Annals of NY
Academy of Science. I hope that you can receive the attachment which is
the
article. It's a wonderful article.

I just unpacked the written program from our opening & it's a "wow"
also!
What a first class event this was. Marylee, Christina, & everyone, I've
been
forwarding the pictures ( w/ the fantastic music) to everyone I know
that I
thought might appreciate it & they have!
Now, I see that the program acknowledges everyone , including the
non
d/mts from Brooklyn & I'm learning about who they are.
What a wonderful way to bring our worlds together.

DANCE/MOVEMENT THERAPY FOR PEOPLE WITH TRAUMATIC INJURY, CHRONIC
ILLNESS OR
TERMINAL ILLNESS
SAT and SUN, Oct 20 & 21, 1 - 8:30pm, 2 sessions, $250 plus $22 reg. fee
Faculty: Cathy Appel, LCSW, LCAT, MFA, ADTR
This workshop will examine the clinical applications of dance/movement
therapy for people coping with traumatic injury, chronic illness or
terminal illness. We will cover assessment, engagement, treatment
planning
and clinical interventions, as well as methods and techniques of D/MT
for
use with specific populations and clinical settings. Areas of focus
will
be identifying movement qualities, mourning physical losses, issues of
transference and counter-transference, adapting to physical differences,
developing a personal and group movement repertory, stress and pain
management, self-advocacy and maximizing resources, such as culture,
music
or spirituality. Sessions will comprise lecture, discussion, movement
experiences and video.
CATHY APPEL, LCSW, LCAT, MFA, ADTR directs the Creative and Movement
Arts
Psychotherapy Program she founded in 1992 at ICD (International Center
for
the Disabled) in the Behavioral Medicine Department. A former ballet
dancer, Ms. Appel trained at the American Ballet Theater School and with
Leon Fokine. She performed with the Pennsylvania Ballet Company and
later
attended Sarah Lawrence College, where she was introduced to modern
dance.
Ms. Appel performed in Doris Humphrey's Day on Earth with Dance Junction
and with her own company until the mid 1980s. Influenced by the work of
Meredith Monk to explore multi-media performance that resonates within
the
body as it reflects and interacts with the imaginal, external and
archetypal world, she went on to study Body-Mind Centering and Authentic
Movement. As part of her exploration of verbal and nonverbal
expression,
and to broaden her creative work, Ms. Appel earned two MFAs in Writing
from
Vermont College and Warren Wilson College, culminating in her thesis,
Recognizing the Dance. She has published poems in journals, textbooks
and
anthologies. As her focus shifted to the relationship between dance and
healing, she pursued an MSW and an MS in dance therapy from Hunter
College.
She has taught workshops and classes at the School of Visual Arts,
Goddard
College, NYU and Sarah Lawrence and at organizations such as the Red
Cross,
the MS Society and Montefiore Hospital. Ms. Appel was Senior Editor and
author of two chapters in the Second Revised Edition (2005) of the dance
therapy textbook, Dance Movement Therapy: A Healing Art (F. Levy Ed.).
She
was co-editor of the American Journal of Dance Therapy and has a private
practice in New York City.

Dear Lora,
I think you are absolutely right. Neuroscience needs to be a
requirement
in DMT training.
I am glad it is now in the US. I will check out Europe.
Best regards,
Sabine

What a great discussion we've got going here!
Lora, thank you for your initiation, and Heather for your response.
I wanted
to include your post, but I'm afraid it will get "scrubbed" for being
too long,
so I'll attempt to respond "sans serif" (I just learned that that
means- without
feet" in web-design land)
I have become quite a neuro-phile as of late, and I've been
wondering, like
Heather, why we feel the need to somehow prove something to the
neuroscientists.
(If that is what you meant, Heather?). We do have so much more to offer
in
research styles, etc...do we have to jump on the bandwagon?
Well...It couldn't hurt, could it?
It makes me furious that some guy (okay, a really smart guy whose
worked on
this stuff for decades) comes up with the word, "mirror neurons" when
Dance
Therapists have been using the term, "mirroring" for fifty years!!!
Something
is wrong with this picture.
I think we owe ourselves, as progressive, intelligent and creative
professionals, the opportunity to find a way into this world to make
ourselves
known; not because we already know this stuff, but because we can add
to it!
Neuroscience is still studying the movement within the brain
(attachment, as
it is processed inside the brain, etc...). We're already using the
clinical
application of movement of the body.
Proprioceptive memory is our greatest asset as dance therapists, and
they
haven't even touched it yet! Let's find a way to work together! I
think that
we'll all benefit from it...
OKay. Off my soapbox. Anyone else?

While the above in some way makes our task of being validated in the
eyes of "science", I found this an incredibly liberating concept a) in
taking away the mantle of authority and "reality" from the accepted
"scientific" view (basically it's just one of many ways to view the
world),
b) it did show me what I was up against but c) it helped me get some
idea of where to put my efforts in terms of establishing dance therapy.
There are of course no easy answers - we're up against a mammoth for
sure - but I don't feel intimidated by it now and I don't feel the need
to try and conform to its particular standards.
Having said all that, I realise of course the realities of trying to
get our work accepted in settings which don't subscribe to our values,
the goals we set in our work and even our worldviews.
I am interested in your response about not just dancing but also
learning about neuroscience etc. - and please don't take this as a
criticism
for I'm sure I've said similar things too in the past - Yet why should
neuroscience be more worthy or weighty than dance? In our hearts and
among our fellow dance therapists, we know it's not - but when the
headlights of society's reality beams on us, as you say, like an animal
facing a car's headlights at night, we become disoriented and lose our
sense of where we are...and therefore get flattened!
Yes let's learn about neuroscience, as we do about anatomy, but not as
a justification to give to our colleagues. It is useful to know some
of this language, to be realistic, as way to establish some credentials
to competency - and a starting point for communication perhaps. But
if we wish to retain the essence of what our work is about, we are going
to have to find ways to stand up for our language and our ways of
working. And let's face it, we will never ever - unless we totally
transform dance therapy - be sufficient for a scientifical model.
Let's just
accept that - and move on. And do we want to be anyway???

Thanks for your response, Jenn. I so agree that we have lots of offer
from our
dance therapy perspective.
Just wanted to bring up an instance which nearly got me writing to the
newspaper
- except I was too busy at the time and am not really expert in this
early
childhood field.
Last week, the discussion came up again on the impact, particularly
for very
young children, of TV watching - it seems there's been some research
showing
that children who have watched a lot of TV, end up with behavioural
problems
later on. The discussion on this was all about the effects of seeing
violence
on TV etc. but so far as I could gather, no one was talking about the
impact of
young bodies staying still and constricted for so long. Surely dance
therapists
would have a lot to say about this eg developmentally, small children
need to
move their bodies (where does all that free flowing energy go if they
don't
move?), they also use their bodies to learn about the world, to act out
their
imagination, feelings, social interactions etc....and so on. I wonder
if any
dance therapists have managed to give some input to this discussion in
the U.S.?
Lora - thanks again for starting up the discussion.
Best wishes,
Heather
