看到菁蓮舞蹈治療師 身動情訴。小茶壺的舞動世界分享了最近 ADTA 公布的舞蹈動作治療最新修訂的定義，決定也來轉分享一下!!
#舞蹈動作治療，不只是治療室裡的一種專業方法，而是透過身體、動作與覺察，幫助人重新感覺自己、感覺關係，並把療癒帶進生活與社群。
這次的定義也特別提到 #文化與社群，讓舞蹈動作治療不只關注個人，而是陪伴家庭與社區一起走向 #身心健康。
這不只是一段新的專業定義，而是一個提醒，特別是現在持續摸索並走在社區、一般大眾及親子共學教室推廣路上的我：
舞蹈、身體和動作，不只存在於專業表演中，也本來就擁有 #療癒 與 #連結 的力量。

ADTA 原文：
We Are the ADTA—and Our Words Matter.
As our field continues to grow, the American Dance Therapy Association is proud to share the newly adopted definition of dance/movement therapy—shaped through years of collective dialogue, scholarship, and lived expertise. This definition reflects who we are today: a body-based, culturally responsive, relationship-centered profession committed to creative processes that support healing and transformation.
Dance/Movement Therapy is defined by the ADTA as the psychotherapeutic use of dance, movement, body awareness, and embodied communication to foster healing and wellness for individuals, families, and communities.
Using a shared definition strengthens the visibility and integrity of our work. When we use consistent language across research, education, clinical practice, publications, and social media, we amplify our collective voice and help the public better understand the impact of dance/movement therapy.
This is the heart of We Are the ADTA—together, we define who we are and support the continued growth of our field.
