“…One of the things demonstrated in a study by Ko (2014) was an increase in this type of confusion as a result of using movement in supervision. While I maintain the importance of movement-work in supervision, this paper proposes that including analysis tools in supervision has the potential to create a healthy distance from the supervisee's therapy work that could reduce the confusion between supervision and therapy.…”

“…There are many varied and creative methods of supervision in DMT, as well as in other modes of creative arts therapies (Ko, 2014). Mollon (1989) argues that supervision that focuses on art fosters professional and personal growth in the supervisee since the art fosters self-understanding, and its place in therapy.…”

“…Meekums (2007) uses the body as a central listener in DMT supervision, who is waiting to absorb information, bypassing the logical area of the brain and activating the body's wisdom. This embodied approach to supervision is similar to Authentic Movement, in the sense that it uses symbolic processing, and speaks to unknown places of body knowledge, and wisdom that may be accessed beyond the logical mind (Ko, 2014). While this approach has significant advantages (e.g.…”

“…While this approach has significant advantages (e.g. supervisee self-knowledge, accessing other perspectives on the therapy), the entire process is dependent on an appropriate relationship between the supervisor and the supervisee(s) (Ko, 2014). Ko (2014) raised a difficulty encountered when using movement-based supervision.…”

Ko (2014) raised a difficulty encountered when using movement-based supervision. His study found that the movement serves to reduce the sense of authority in the supervision context and increase verbal sharing, thus creating a more intimate supervision space.…”

Background: In looking at the history of dance movement therapy (DMT), three stages of professional focus are identified: Emotional body/movement; verbal processing as it relates to body/movement; and movement analysis and observation tools. Models of supervision for young DMT therapists appear to have paralleled two of these stages, and not the third. This article aims to address a need in the field of DMT in the area of therapist-supervision. Sources of Evidence: A literature review covering the history of DMT, and the existing supervision models in DMT and their effects, provides support for the author's argument. Main Argument: The author proposes to parallel the third stage of focus in DMT's development. Namely, it suggests integrating movement-analysis and observation tools into the existing models of supervision. While many existing models benefit from experience-based supervision, there is a need for a professional distance from the supervision material. This could be achieved by using methods of movement observation and analysis, developed in the field of DMT. One of these methods would be combined with the experiential aspects of supervision, and thus provide both inner understanding, and outer perspective, leading to greater therapeutic insight. Conclusions: This article is of importance to DMT supervisors and therapists, as well as to other professionals who view supervision as an integral part of training. It clarifies the importance of structured analysis approaches when using verbal and nonverbal work in supervision, to create an appropriate distance from the supervision material.
