Parameters observed and analyzed in three Dance Therapy thesis papers are compared and analyzed in terms of whether they can be observed as markers of developmental stage. The conclusion of the paper outlines the possible movement parameters of developmental stages as hypothesized by the author, and examines the effect upon the therapist's role that the presence or absence of these parameters may have in short-term dance therapy.</p>"}
