There is a growing interest in embodied approaches to psychotherapy internationally. This volume focuses on the respective focal professions of dance movement psychotherapy (DMP) and body psychotherapy (BP), addressing the psychotherapeutic need for healing throughout the lifespan. Within embodied clinical approaches, the therapist and client collaborate to discover how the body and movement can be used to strengthen positive relational skills, attending to the client's immediate and long-term needs through assessment, formulation, treatment and evaluation. Both DMP and BP are based upon the capacity and authority of the body and non-verbal communication to support and heal patients with diverse conditions, including trauma, unexplained bodily symptoms and other psychological distress, and to develop the clients’ emotional and relational capacities by listening to their bodies for integration and wellbeing.

In The Routledge International Handbook of Embodied Perspectives in Psychotherapy, world leaders in the field contribute their expertise to showcase contemporary psychotherapeutic practice. They share perspectives from multiple models that have been developed throughout the world, providing information on theoretical advances and clinical practice, as well as discourse on the processes and therapeutic techniques employed individually and in groups. Presented in three parts, the book covers underpinning embodiment concepts, potentials of dance movement psychotherapy and of body psychotherapy, each of which is introduced with a scene-setting piece to allow the reader to easily engage with the content. With a strong focus on cross- and interdisciplinary perspectives, readers will find a wide compilation of embodied approaches to psychotherapy, allowing them to deepen and further their conceptualization and support best practice.

This unique handbook will be of particular interest to clinical practitioners in the fields of body psychotherapy and dance movement psychotherapy as well as professionals from psychology, medicine, social work, counselling/psychotherapy and occupational therapy, and to those from related fields who are in search of information on the basic therapeutic principles and practice of body and movement psychotherapies and seeking to further their knowledge and understanding of the discipline. It is also an essential reference for academics and students of embodied psychotherapy, embodied cognitive science and clinical professions.

"A broader and more international collection of writing on embodiment and psychotherapy is currently unimaginable. This new collection should serve as an authoritative source for embodied psychotherapy practitioners for many years to come. The coverage provided by the thirty-seven chapters that cover dance movement psychotherapy and body psychotherapy practice is unprecedented and offers a truly wide range of opinion and approach. This work may serve to bring these related but different approaches closer and establish greater understanding. Kudos to the editors, this volume is a true achievement!" - Robyn Flaum Cruz, PhD, BC-DMT; Professor, Lesley University PhD Program in Expressive Therapies, USA

"The editors of this volume bring together an illustrious group of international leaders in both dance movement psychotherapy and body psychotherapy to share their wisdom on embodied therapeutic practice. Vast in its scope, original in its perspective, and comprehensive in its inclusion of diverse　 　points of view, this book is a treasure trove of practical and theoretical riches. For all who honor the role of the body’s natural intelligence in healing from trauma and attachment inadequacies, this book is an essential resource." - Pat Ogden, PhD; founder of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute and author　of Trauma and the Body: A Sensorimotor Approach to Psychotherapy　and　Sensorimotor Psychotherapy: Interventions for Trauma and Attachment

"This book is an important contribution to the growing science of mind-body interaction in psychotherapy. It is unique in its wide range of views of the importance of the body and will be invaluable for those working in 　psychotherapy and counselling." - Prof. Dr. phil. Claire Schaub-Moore, CPsychol AFBPsS, WiAP, Wiesbaden Germany

"As psychotherapies incorporate knowledge of the body, the term embodiment has become a central theme in the understanding and treatment of individuals with mental health challenges. In The Routledge International Handbook of Embodied Perspectives in Psychotherapy: Approaches from Dance Movement and Body Psychotherapies the editors - Helen Payne, Sabine Koch, Jennifer Tantia and Thomas Fuchs - have crafted a timely and important resource for clinician, student, and informed consumer.　 Although Dance Movement Therapy and Body Psychotherapy sub-disciplines have their own affiliative societies and journals, the central role of the body is shared in both approaches and many therapists integrate features from each sub-discipline in their treatment models. This impressive scholarly volume documents how embodied perspectives have emerged in psychotherapy and are now commonly integrated in treatment models. The volume selects authors from a broad range of theoretical orientations and trainings who share a vision that body-oriented therapies provide an efficient and effective portal to alleviate the burden of mental discomfort, which often accompanies a history of trauma and abuse." - Stephen W. Porges, PhD, Distinguished University Scientist, Indiana University, USA; Professor of Psychiatry, University of North Carolina, USA; author of　The Pocket Guide to the Polyvagal Theory: The Transformative Power of Feeling Safe
