| Popis: | Dance movement psychotherapy (DMP) is considered to be a relevant and appropriate intervention for people with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). A number of studies have reported DMP techniques and approaches in therapeutic work with children. Wider therapeutic practice in special education and other settings for children with ASD includes the use of structured narrative approaches in treatment. To date there is limited literature reporting DMP practice with adults with ASD. The aim of the study was to introduce a structured narrative approach in the form of the six-part story within DMP with an adult with ASD. A practice-based research approach was used to generate therapist observations and collect in-therapy responses from one patient. The study results indicate that DMP practice can incorporate structured narrative approaches in work with adults with ASD. |
