{"value"=>"<p> <span class=\"title\">Body Image in Dance Therapy: A Self-Analysis</span></p> <p>The thesis is divided into three parts, each of which deals with a different aspect of body image. The first part is a comprehensive review of the literature. The review begins with a brief discussion of the definition of body image and then moves on to give an historical account of the development of the theoretical construct. This is followed by a discussion of the role of body image in psychoanalytic theory, in psychopathology and in non-clinical populations, with particular emphasis being given to the kinds of tests that have been used to measure body image. The review closes with a discussion of the ways in which poor body image may be transformed through Dance/Movement Therapy and cognitive therapeutic techniques.</p> <p>The second part of the Thesis is the case study, which serves as both a self-analysis of body image and as a personal record of body image transformation during the course of one semester in the Dance/Movement Therapy Program at Hunter College. The record is in the form of both journal entries and evaluative comments of the visual/kinesthetic exercises performed during the semester. The third part of the thesis summarizes the self-analysis. It highlights that which has been learned about body image, and it selects those elements of the Dance/Movement Therapy process which were found to be most helpful in bringing about body image transformation.</p>"}
