Through conference seminars and plenary events, we are working to create and offer a rich and multi-layered experience for those who attend. As an evidence-based mental health discipline, we will examine what we know about the impact of our work in a pluralistic society, and what it is that we need to learn more about through research, study and professional preparation. How do differences in gender, sexuality, Culture, ethnicity, age, physical abilities, socio-economic status and religion impact and inform the practice of dance/movement therapy? How are dance/movement therapy research, theory and practice responsive to the needs of an increasingly diverse client population and society? How can the field develop and strengthen in this regard? How do cross-cultural applications of dance/movement therapy expand the body of knowledge and ways of delivering DMT services? We will examine the question of diversity within the profession as well: who are dance/movement therapists and how can the field grow towards more diversity within? Sincerely, Devereaux, MA, LCAT, LMHC, ADTR, NCC Public Relations Committee Chairperson & Newsletter Editor American Dance Therapy Association www.adta.org Come to Austin, TX October 30-November 2, 2008 Dance/Movement Therapy for a Diverse Society: Evidence & Ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
