Book Synopsis Moving on - the Art of Embodiment by : Jane Guthrie
Download or read book Moving on - the Art of Embodiment written by Jane Guthrie and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-28 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brimming with the voices of experienced practitioners, this heart-led publication celebrates embodied intelligence and shares multiple body-oriented practices that deepen connection and create conditions for humans to thrive. This publication stems from the investigations and spirit of Thinking Bodies: Moving Minds, a symposium on the art of embodiment. It was held in Melbourne at the historic Abbotsford Convent, the perfect venue for a rich program of deeply experiential movement workshops, thoughtful presentations, discussions, and reflections on a wide range of approaches to embodied practice. Professionals from the fields of Dance Movement Therapy, Body-Mind Centering®, Creative Arts Therapy, somatic psychotherapy, yoga, improvisational dance, performance, visual arts and more came together to share and deepen practice. In this inaugural book of the Moving On series, a fruitful collaboration between the Dance Therapy Association of Australasia (DTAA) and the Body-Mind Centering® Association (BMCA), the breadth of experience in our writers is palpable and the cross- fertilisation of ideas is sophisticated and infectious. Author biographies display a group of highly engaged, dedicated practitioners, many of whom have acquired multiple qualifications, as well as gained expertise in several modalities and specialist practices. This collective wisdom, underpinned by years of training, is evidence of a mature community that takes seriously the processes of thinking bodies and moving minds. What emerges are diverse offerings that make a significant contribution to the field and lead us closer to the ephemeral art of embodiment. Two years on, the world has turned itself inside out in response to a global pandemic and the catastrophic effects of climate change, and our life circumstances have profoundly changed. As uncertainty continues to plague us, connecting with ourselves, others and our environments has never been more important.

Download or read book Beyond Dance written by Eden Davies and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-05-07 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Dance: Laban's Legacy of Movement Analysis offers students of dance and movement a brief introduction to the life and work of Rudolf Laban, and how this work has been extended into the fields of movement therapy, communications, early childhood development, and other fields. While many dance students know of Laban and his work as it applies to their field, few know the full story of how this technique has developed and grown. For many who enter into the fields of dance movement therapy, performance, and communications, there are valuable lessons to be learned from Laban and his follower's works. Beyond Dance offers a concise introduction to this world. Refreshingly free of jargon and easy to understand, the work offers dance students – and others interested in human movement – a full picture of the many possibilities inherent in Laban's theories. For many who will pursue careers 'beyond dance', this work will be a useful guidebook into related areas. This will be ideally suited to students of Laban movement theory in dance and movement therapy, and will be used in advanced courses in these areas as useful, brief introduction to the field.

This book was released on 2019-08-21 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique volume integrates history, mythology/folklore, and theory and research to bridge the gap between Western and Middle Eastern approaches to and understanding of psychotherapy, particularly Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Part I lays the foundation with an overview of the theoretical essentials of REBT and CBT in the West, the goals and assumptions of REBT and CBT in the Middle East, and what Middle Eastern clients understand about cognitive distortions, irrational beliefs, and emotions. In Part II, chapters delve more deeply into how psychology is placed in the context of Middle Eastern folklore. The author provides a summary of the history of psychology in the Middle East; an analysis of the relevance of Sufism to self-acceptance, acceptance of others, and life acceptance; and an evaluation of the use of metaphor in psychotherapy from the Middle Eastern perspective. Finally, the author provides case studies that show how these concepts are applied in practice. This text is ideal reading for researchers and clinicians who study Middle Eastern psychology and who work with Middle Eastern clients, as well as for Middle Eastern psychologists and clients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Counseling by Michael Scott Nystul provides an overview of counseling and the helping professions from the perspective of art and science—the science of counseling that generates a knowledge base proven to promote competency and efficacy in the practitioner, and the art of using this knowledge base to build skills that can be applied sensitively to clients in a multicultural society. The Fifth Edition has been organized into three sections: (1) an overview of counseling and the counseling process, (2) multicultural counseling and counseling theories, and (3) special approaches and settings. It continues to address key topics and issues, including gender, culture, and sexual orientation, and offers ways to integrate multiculturalism into all aspects of counseling, rather than view it as a separate entity. Highlighting emerging trends and changes in ethical codes, as well as reflecting the latest updates to the Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM-5), the book successfully illustrates the importance of art and science to modern-day counseling.
