Dance in Psychiatry

I have just started my internship in a Psychiatric Centre as a dance therapy intern.

I work and dance with people diagnosed with depression and mood disorders, schizophreny, youngs sufferers of a first psychosis…

And because the field of Dance Therapy need people that write, I will try to write some exercises and examples of my practice there. This way people can have an idea about what is Dance Movement Therapy in this context.

Note!

For ethical reasons I will never use the real names, or information that could facilitate the identification of absolutely any of the patients.
