This paper documents one of several themes arising from a larger research study which invited trainees' views on their experience in a weekly, 2 year, dance movement therapy (DMT) personal development group. This group formed part of their post-graduate training. The study used a phenomenological, grounded theory and collaborative methodology followed by an interpretive framework. The research sought to discover participants' views on the experience of this personal development group in relation to their clinical practice with DMT groups during and following their training (the latter is not the subject of this paper). The study identifies a gap in the literature on trainee experience, particularly in relation to group process. Following a brief introduction and overview of methodology employed, the theme entitled 'becoming a client, becoming a practitioner' is presented, as it manifested for the students in the DMT group over time. The personal development component of therapists' training is directly relevant to most counselling/psychotherapy and arts therapies practitioners; consequently, the study has broader implications.

“…Bringing the participants together in a unique setting opened them to a community outside their daily experiences. At CAHD, a client can come to see him-or herself as a member of a "disability culture" (Spaniol, 1998): understanding his or her disability "as a characteristic of an oppressed group rather than a personal liability" (p. 30). Spaniol asserted that in viewing a participant group as a culture, art therapists can collaborate with clients to facilitate social change.…”

The Centre for the Arts in Human Development in Montreal has provided art, drama, music, and dance/movement therapies to adults with developmental disabilities for over 10 years with the goals of developing and enhancing self-esteem, social skills, and communication abilities. This report describes the development and purpose of the center, sustainability challenges, and efforts made to create community both within the center and with the community at large. Recommendations are made for intiating creative arts therapies centers in other locales.

“…Using just one approach or one method often does not portray what is happening in a research study (Cox & Anderson, 1998;Cox, Morgan & Anderson, 1999). We need case reports AND quantifiable data to tell the "whole story" (Anderson, 1996;Spaniol, 1998).…”
