Abstract

This is the study on the research trends in dance/movement therapy by categorizing and analyzing the quantitative results of thesis for the last 10 years. We collected the master`s thesis searched by the keyword of dance/movement therapy or dance therapy and thesis reported in the related journal from 2000 to 2010. Then we classified them into time range, subject, variables, method and theoretical background of studies. The result shows that there`s been vitalized in the domain of variables and subject. Therefore the value of dance/movement therapy is getting wider from therapeutic range to socioculturally welfare. In the other hand, the method and the theoretical background of applied therapy are relatively poor and limited in the validity and reliability of the study. As a result, we suggest that this result will provide the preliminary source to encourage the study of the dance/movement therapy based on the theoretical background and specialized experiences in a very creative way. In addition, the dance / movement therapy has expanded to an integrated view should be studied.
