“…Somatic or body-based interventions are becoming more widely accepted as evidence-based practices (EBPs) in clinical social work practice and mental health treatment [1][2][3]. These interventions may include a range of movement related activities, including yoga, dance, tai chi, and even trauma-sensitive weightlifting [4][5][6][7][8]. Preliminary research has presented evidence demonstrating that yoga, as a somatic intervention, can be effective in treating a multitude of clinical diagnoses, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and to some extent, eating disorders [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

Body-based interventions such as yoga are becoming increasingly common as evidence-based practices in social work and therapeutic treatment. However, yoga is rarely taught as a therapeutic practice in social work educational programs. This study examined social work students’ knowledge and interest in yoga as both a physical exercise and therapeutic approach. 213 social work students from two mid- to large- sized universities in a Midwest state completed a survey. The survey results showed that students are interested in participating in yoga as well as learning yoga as a therapeutic approach for their clinical practice. A few students noted concerns about cultural appropriation and using interventions to fit the individual client. Training in yoga as a therapeutic intervention could be added into existing social work programs to increase the ability of future social workers to provide this intervention to their clients.

Wykonywanie ćwiczeń skutkuje większą świadomością doznań, oczyszczeniem pamięci mięśniowej i obniżeniem poziomu napięcia oraz stresu (Stirling i Andrews, 2022).…”

CEL NAUKOWY: Celem artykułu jest przybliżenie literatury dotyczącej fizycznych konsekwencji traumy oraz możliwości ich leczenia z wykorzystaniem terapii taniec/ruch (DMT). PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Głównym problemem badawczym jest zagadnienie interwencji DMT oraz jej zastosowania w leczeniu cielesnych komponentów traumy. Metodą badawczą jest analiza wybranej literatury przedmiotu. PROCES WYWODU: Efektywność DMT jest analizowana na podstawie badań wśród ofiar prze- mocy seksualnej i dzieci uchodźców. W tych grupach wykorzystanie tańca okazało się mieć pozy- tywne skutki dla uczestników. Dyskusji poddane zostają zalety tej metody, jak również ograniczenia. WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Przeżycie traumy wiąże się z dysregulacją na poziomie całego organizmu. Wykorzystanie ruchu i tańca w jej leczeniu jest interesującym polem badań i może stanowić skuteczne uzupełnienie interwencji wśród osób, które doświadczyły traumy. DMT jest metodą już stosowaną w praktyce terapeutycznej, a przeprowadzone badania wskazują na pozytywne skutki jej zastosowania. WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE, REKOMENDACJE: DMT w kontekście traumy wymaga dalszych analiz i badań. Unormowanie praktyki terapeutycznej oraz narzędzi badawczych pomogłoby określić jej skuteczność. W Polsce może być to użyteczna alternatywa w leczeniu ofiar wojny w Ukrainie.

Interpersonal trauma is a pervasive issue with devastating consequences for women and girls of diverse identities. Research has shown that there are many potential physiological consequences for experiencing trauma, and as such, treatment for trauma should incorporate the body. Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT) has been emerging in the current literature as one body-oriented treatment approach effective in helping women and girls heal from interpersonal trauma. This review uses textual narrative evidence synthesis to examine how practitioners are currently using DMT for this population, what treatment outcomes have been observed, and what the racial/ethnic identities and international contexts are for survivors who have benefited from DMT. Inclusion criteria for the present review included peer-reviewed studies published in English between the years 2000 to 2022, reporting data on the use of dance or movement to help women and/or adolescent girls aged 12 and older heal from interpersonal trauma. Studies were identified through electronic databases, and 16 total studies met criteria. This review found that the characteristics and structure of DMT vary greatly between different practitioners, the participants of DMT are very diverse, and there are many commonly observed outcomes such as increased physical ability, increased emotional capacity, mind-body integration, safety, aid with trauma processing, empowerment, social support, and fun. This review also gives recommendations for practitioners who wish to utilize dance and movement in treatment: offer group interventions; use the body to create metaphor, imagery, and symbolism; give survivors choices in how they participate; use music purposefully; and don’t forget to cultivate joy.
