2021
This research identified participant profiles in level and changes in depression among working age (18–64 years old) clients (N = 137) diagnosed with depression, who participated in a 20-session dance movement therapy (DMT) intervention. Using Latent Profile Analysis Mild, sharply reducing depression (9%), Mild, reducing depression (58%) and Severe, reducing depression (33%) profiles were established, using Beck Depression Inventory scores gathered at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up points.

Change in body image among depressed adult outpatients after a dance movement therapy group treatment
2018
This study reports on the body image of depressed psychiatric outpatients, and the impact thereon of a dance movement therapy (DMT) group. Body image is perceived as a tri-partite construct consisting of image-properties, body-self, and body memory. Depressed patients in an outpatient mental health service participated in a DMT group treatment consisting of twelve 90-min long sessions in groups of 4–7 patients. Patients (N = 18) responded to a structured Body Image Assessment (BIA) before and after the treatment. Initially, the depressed patients’ body image was characterized by fragmentation, distortions, and shallowness of body awareness. The DMT group treatment aimed to offer the patient…
Nuorten musiikillinen tunneilmaisu liikkeen avulla
2012
Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, voidaanko musiikin välittämien tunteiden tanssillisessa liikeilmaisussa havaita eroja eri tunteiden välillä. Liikemittaustutkimus kohdistui erityisesti nuoriin ja siihen osallistui 61 14-vuotiasta tutkittavaa. Liikkeen eroja tutkittiin niin sanottujen perustunteiden, vihan, pelon, ilon, surun ja hellyyden, välillä. Liikettä analysoitiin Labanin (1950) neljän liikefaktorin, Tilan, Painon, Ajan ja Virtauksen, avulla. Tilastollisena menetelmänä käytettiin toistomittausten varianssianalyysia. Tulokset osoittivat, että liikeilmaisussa voitiin havaita selkeitä eroja riippuen siitä, mitä tunnetta liikkeellä ilmaistiin. Liikkuminen erosi erityisesti tunt…
