“…Grounding quality assessment during the intervention process by psychologists ( Turkus and Kahler, 2006 ; Gendlin, 2012 ; van der Kolk, 2014 ; Sar et al, 2017 ), mind-body therapists ( Reich, 1933 ; Lowen, 2004 ; Röhricht et al, 2013 ; Geuter, 2016 ), and dance movement therapists ( Stromsted, 2007 ; Koch and Harvey, 2012 ; Ko, 2017 ) has been performed over the years without the use of valid and reliable observation tools. In light of this study’s findings, the GAT is proposed as a valid and reliable tool that will strengthen the reliability of a grounding assessment process, via a brief 10-min observation, without the need for a verbal interview or the use of physical measurement tools.…”

“…Grounding expresses the nature of the psycho-physical presence in the “here and now” in relation to the degree of physical and emotional support by the ground (the ability to be “down to earth,” “feet on the ground”) ( Hilton, 2000 ; Meekums, 2002 ; Lowen, 2004 ; Guest et al, 2019 ). Enhancing grounding by structured movement interventions in conditions of depression ( Pylvänäinen et al, 2015 ), post-trauma ( Ko, 2017 ), and for somatoform disorders ( Nickel et al, 2006 ) are in widespread clinical use among body psychotherapists and dance movement therapists. The assumption is that movement interventions for grounding improvement help to improve the individual’s functioning, emotion regulation and emotional awareness ( Guest et al, 2019 ).…”

“…A limited number of experiments have examined grounding’s contribution to emotional processes and included subsequent interventions to improve grounding – breathing exercises, sound output, awareness of body boundaries, and body experiences ( Nickel et al, 2006 ), and experiences of exerting force in a foot to floor encounter (i.e., pushing movement) ( Ko, 2017 ). The findings were that these interventions resulted in a greater reduction in depression among patients compared to a control group of patients who participated in only conventional psychological treatment ( Röhricht et al, 2013 ; Pylvänäinen et al, 2015 ).…”

Grounding the Connection Between Psyche and Soma: Creating a Reliable Observation Tool for Grounding Assessment in an Adult Population

The concept of grounding is accepted and common among dance movement therapists and body psychotherapists. It expresses a stable physical and emotional presence – “supported by the ground.” The assumption is that embodied emotional knowledge is expressed through the manner of physical holding and in the emotional experience in the world. However, along with the clinical use of the term, an empirical tool for examining grounding is lacking. The goal of the study was to examine the reliability and validity of an observation tool for assessing the quality of grounding, the Grounding Assessment Tool (GAT), which was created for the present study on the basis of theory, research, and clinical knowledge in the field. Forty three adult participants (age, M = 28.2 years, SD = 8.54) were recruited for an experimental and controlled session, the session included guided movement for approximately 10 min. The movement was recorded on video. The quality of the movement was rated by two raters and was scored using the GAT. The study findings indicated that the GAT is a reliable and valid tool – with good internal consistency (α = 0.850) and high interrater and intrarater reliability (Kendall’s ’range from 0.789 to 0.973 and intraclass correlation coefficient range from 0.967 to 1.00, respectively). The exploratory factor analysis showed that four factors are involved in the assessment of grounding quality: fluid and rhythmic movement, emotional expression in movement, pattern of foot placement, and lack of stability and weightiness. The results of this study expand the theoretical understanding of the concept of grounding. They contribute to the understanding of the benefits of body focus, dance and movement in psychotherapy and to validating body psychotherapy and dance movement therapy (DMT). The existence of a reliable and valid tool is essential for assessment and diagnostic processes, for formulating therapeutic goals focused on the body, and for examining their effectiveness.

“…Therefore, studying culture may increase the understanding of the clients with depression, inspiring the method of intervention and to benefit the development of a therapeutic relationship. For example, Ko (2017) brought 'haan' into discussion (this is a cultural-related syndrome in Korea combining of depression, anxiety and psychosomatic pain), and explained how a Korean scarf dance can be an effective intervention for a Korean woman with haan.…”

Highlights  The movement characteristics and the psychological constructs of women with depression in Taiwan are explored.  Initial results show that women with depression use less sagittal movement than women without depression.  Results also show that the distances between social roles and actual/ideal self are correlated to depression.  The interpretation of the research results is that women with depression in Taiwan might experience difficulties in finding themselves while maintaining stressful social connections and striving to meet society's expectations on the social roles they are expected to play.
