Through a journal it traces seven dance therapy sessions in which the author utilizes a movement ritual designed to help ground the patient in reality. Specifically, it looked for a relationship between physical grounding and an increase in reality-based verbalizations. The movement sequence chosen incorporated early developmental movement patterns and Labanalysis concepts of weight and space effort as interpreted by Bartenieff. Results indicate that such a structure may be a useful tool in helping to heal the body/mind split characteristic of schizophrenia.</p>"}
