“…Qigong practice has many similarities with other body movement therapies, such as Movement therapy and dance movement therapy. These unique methods differ from verbal therapies and supply a space in which group members can experience release of tension, relaxation, joy and the pleasure of movement, and even playfulness (Pylvänäinen, 2010). Indeed, we often note that some patients prefer attending movement and non-verbal groups rather than other activities in the department.…”

Qigong is an ancient Chinese art of movement, breathing and energy cultivation, which became a focus for medical research in the western world in the last decades. This article presents a module of qigong group in a psychiatric day-care department as the rationale of the group relies on the evidence-based multiple physical and mental benefits of qigong practice. The interface between different qigong elements and psychotherapy is discussed in order to emphasise the beneficial effect of implementation of qigong practice in mental health settings, and the authors suggest that qigong practice should receive more attention from clinicians and body and movement therapists.

“…DMT combines movement and attention to physical sensations using a dynamic approach (Chaiklin & Wengrower, 2015) in order to improve emotional and social functioning by integrating body movements, emotional responses, and self-expression (Pylvanainen, 2010). In DMT for children, the therapist uses guided or spontaneous relaxation, imagery, play, and dance, using their body to reflect the patient's movements and adapt themselves to the child (e.g., by referring to the child's facial expressions, muscle tension, posture, breathing, and voice) (Weitz & Opre, 2019).…”

"Dance movement therapy (DMT) offers children a space to encounter strengths and experience a sense of vitality in order to increase their sense of confidence and self-awareness, thereby easing their anxiety and/or helping them achieve more adaptive emotion regulation. While previous studies indicate that DMT effectively reduces anxiety symptoms, such as stress, scant research focuses on the nature of the therapeutic interventions and how they assist in treating anxiety. This study examined DMT techniques and interventions through their documentation in therapy logs tracking eight long-term treatments of children aged 8–11 coping with anxiety symptoms. Four intervention axes were identified: (1) action-promoting interventions (2) separation-promoting interventions; (3) interventions for strengthening the sense of self; and (4) integration-promoting interventions. Based on the findings, a therapeutic model is proposed drawing on various “mirroring” interventions as the basis for forming the therapeutic relationship and additional therapeutic interventions involving movement. The model enables the child to explore their experience of the relationship, understand themselves in a new way, and create meaning. This manuscript is part of manuscripts submitted for publication."
