The Journal of Body, Movement and Dance in Psychotherapy is delighted to announce a Call for Papers for a Special Issue on:

This special issue will celebrate research and practice that brings moving bodies to the foreground and combines this with a commitment to environmental justice. As the climate emergency quickens and becomes more visible, so does the realisation that the wellbeing of individuals and the health of the planet are mutually implicated. As mental health problems increase and environmental degradation escalates, now, more than ever, there is a need for embodied, empathic compassion for ourselves each other and the earth that is our home. This belongs to a wider landscape of social, political and environmental justice.

The journal invites practice-led research papers, case studies, clinical reflections, and theoretical essays from the prosaic to the poetic that locate mental health and wellbeing in the primacy of the moving body, in relation to a wider ecological context.

The editors welcome contributions from interdisciplinary perspectives, such as environmental movement, dance movement psychotherapy, eco-psychotherapy, body psychotherapy, new materialism and posthumanism.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE 31 MARCH 2023

Diploma in Dance Movement Therapy (online or in person [in Auckland, NZ])

This course is available online! This low-residence, one year, part time programme includes 6 modules plus tutorials & self-study, enabling international students to attend via live online learning. The content of the online & in person course are the same, the only difference is that the online course is spread over 11 weekends rather than 6.

The course is experiential, utilising current DMT practice & tools to develop embodied skills and understanding. This is supported by a strong theoretical base and will be delivered by both NZ & Australian DMT’s and international guest teachers who are experts in the field of DMT.

The Foundation Module offered in October/November 2022 is a prerequisite before applying to undertake the Dance Therapy Training starting March 2022, however if you miss this weekend, you are still able to do a makeup Foundation Module (4h online live teaching) and enrol in the Diploma for 2023.
