A native of Finland I have worked in Finland and in Norway to widen and deepen the understanding of dance as a discipline in education, and based on this understanding to develop dance therapy since the beginning of the 1970s. I was a founding member and the first chair of the Finnish Dance Therapy Association founded in 1994 at Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-sizing-medium has-small-font-size\">My degrees are in arts and crafts, music, milieu therapy, dance and psychomotor therapy, medicine, philosophy, visual anthropology and social anthropology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-sizing-medium has-small-font-size\">My competence is in the arts, education, therapy, supervision, and lecturing. To mark a clear separation between dance education and dance therapy I proposed the concept of &#8220;therapeutic dance education&#8221; for therapeutic dance, and defined dance therapy as a form of clinical discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-sizing-medium has-small-font-size\">Based on the belief that the human being is a whole, and that this whole is united with nature, dance therapy in my work is defined:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-sizing-medium has-small-font-size\"><strong><em>&#8220;Dance therapy is a holistic, interactive psychotherapy form based on therapeutic attitude. The dance therapist uses herself as a tool in therapy. The method employed in the therapy process is communication through movement. The aim of the therapy is to improve communication&#8221;<\/em><\/strong>. <strong>(Parvia 1991).<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dancetherapy.no\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dancetherapy.no\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dancetherapy.no\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dancetherapy.no\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dancetherapy.no\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dancetherapy.no\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":186,"href":"https:\/\/dancetherapy.no\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8\/revisions\/186"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dancetherapy.no\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
