Author Biography: Sharon W. Goodill

Book Synopsis

Goodill describes the emerging application of dance/movement therapy (DMT) to the needs of people with a primary medical illness. Drawing upon interviews with practitioners as well as case examples, she shows how DMT encourages and enhances the healing process by working with the mind/body connection. She concludes by proposing some priorities for future research in the field. Goodill teaches graduate courses in creative arts therapy at Drexel University. The text is based upon her doctoral dissertation. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
