Processing was defined as an interpretation, an observation, a clarification or a question, directed towards a group of patients or an individual patient.</p> <p>Two dance therapy sessions that were conducted by a dance therapy intern at Gracie Square Hospital. were compared. Both sessions took place on an inpatient short term psychiatric ward. In session A, the intern deliberately processed during the movement experience, which was 45 minutes long. In session B, the intern deliberately processed after the movement experience, there was 35 min. of movement and 10 min. of processing. The effects of the different methods were analyzed by a content analysis of the patient's verbalization in both sessions.</p> <p>In session A, where processing took place during the movement experience, the percentage of patient verbalization was 34.4. In session B, where processing took place after the movement experience, the percentage of patient verbalization was 16.5. The content analysis of the patient's verbalization revealed that 63.5% of their statements were of feeling, experiential and insightful content in session A, and 66.7% in session B. No statistical difference was found at the.05 level, between the quantity and quality of the patient's verbalizations in both sessions.</p>"}
