“…Other studies relate to the integration of CBT with Expressive Arts (Czamanski-Cohen, 2014 ; Malchiodi & Rozum, 2012 ; Rasmussen, 2001 ; Sarid & Huss, 2010 ). There are also models from other Creative arts therapies, for instance CBAT (cognitive‐behavioral art therapy, Rosal, 2001 ), CBT-ARTS (Sharon, 2018 ), CBMT (cognitive-behavioral music therapy, Hilliard, 2001 ), CBPGT (cognitive-behavior psychodrama group therapy, Treadwell at al., 2016 ).…”

Anxiety disorders (ADs) are among the most common psychiatric disorders and they may appear as early on as in childhood. The current study addressed the combination of two treatments approaches for ADs: Dance/movement therapy (DMT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), focusing on factors that explain the therapists' attitudes towards actually combining the two therapies. The study utilized a quantitative design, with a perceptions survey administered via an online questionnaire. Ninety-nine therapists participated in the study (DMT-only n = 35, CBT-only n = 42, and DMT + CBT, n = 22). Following preliminary analysis (comparison between the groups, correlations and factor analysis), the structural equation model (SEM, confirmatory factor analysis) revealed a good fit between the theoretical model and the empirical data. First, it was found that the reported actual use of the combined approaches (DMT + CBT) in treatment of children with ADs, was significantly explained by therapists who had experience practicing DMT but not CBT perceiving this combination as efficient. Second, the therapists' use of the combined therapy (DMT + CBT) approaches was not related to their sense of efficacy as therapists of children with ADs. The model represents concordance between the components of the therapists' attitudes: Affective—belief that it is efficient, cognitive—perception of it as effective, and behavioral—their actual use.
