title: Dance/movement therapy in head injury rehabilitation.
abstract: A case study is presented to illustrate the use of dance/movement therapy in the treatment of an individual with severe brain damage. Theoretical and practical perspectives, as well as selected principles of dance/movement therapy are delineated. A rationale for use of intentional/volitional movement as a treatment strategy is posited on the basis of neuroanatomical and neurophysiological constructs.
