|
This study is to analyze the physical, emotional, cognitive changes a dance/movement therapy brings to fire-accident trauma victims suffering from aftermath trauma, and efforts to delve deeper into the victims’ everyday life adaptation processes during and after the program. The participants of the study were 3 college students who had gone through a fire accident. A dance/movement therapy program comprised of 12 sessions in total, two hours per session, once a week. The data for analysis were collected from self-reports during the program and in-depth interviews conducted after the program. Consensual qualitative research(CQR) method was used to analyze the data, and the results were as follows. The experiences of dance/movement therapy fell into 5 main categories: participation motive, conditions before the program, change of conditions during the program, change of conditions after the program, and promoting factors of condition-change. These 5 categories were classified into 14 sub-categories and 52 factors. This study show that dance/movement therapy effectively helps victims to adjust back to normal life as the program alleviates PTSD symptoms through body-awareness, enhanced emotional expressiveness, positive body and self image. The results of this study suggest that Body-based dance/movement therapy need to be applied as a psychotherapeutic intervention for victims of trauma. And it is expected to provide baseline data for future development of body-based dance/movement therapy program for PTSD.
