A Sports Counsellor and Social Therapist in Training: Searching for my identity as a dance therapist

Keywords
Interdisciplinary experience, social therapy, sports counselling, athlete treatment, professional development

This paper focuses on the intertwining of social therapy, psychotherapy and group dance therapy. The interdisciplinary experience was a central experience in the author’s own professional development. The therapeutic relationship illustrated in a vignette, focuses on social therapy. Despite achieving similar results to psychotherapy, social therapy enhanced the author’s insight. Links made to current thinking in sociology and psychotherapy conclude the article. (pp 11-16)
