This volume includes 22 articles from Australian and international dance movement therapists and colleagues on a wide range of topics, from dance therapy's origins and directions, research and evaluation in dance-movement therapy to therapeutic applications and skill development for therapists.

The chapter cites models of dance movement therapy with mother–infant and documents previous studies. It describes the aesthetic processes and tools of dance that lead to enlivened physical narratives and shared joy that occur in the outpatient hospital group dance movement programme, with reference to published research and evaluation of the programme. Emerging patterns of relating are observed with individual mother–infant dyads in the dance movement individual programme in the acute psychiatric ward. The aesthetic experiences in both settings contribute to increasing cycles of improved responsiveness of mother and infant as seen in the expressive behaviours of their interaction.</p>

We evaluated a novel, 10-session mother-infant therapeutic playgroup-Community HUGS (CHUGS)-which combines cognitive and experiential components through psychoeducation, play, music, and movement. Participants were mothers experiencing a range of postnatal mental health difficulties, including depression, with infants ≤12 months of age. However, the aim was not to treat maternal depression but to ameliorate associated problems in the mother-infant interaction. In the feasibility study, all participants received CHUGS. In the pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT), participants were randomized between intervention and a wait-list. Outcomes were the Parenting Stress Index (PSI; R.R. Abidin, 1995), Parenting Sense of Competency Scale (Self-Efficacy subscale; J. Gibaud-Wallston & L.P. Wandersman, 1978), and the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scales (P.F. Lovibond & S.H. Lovibond, 1995). In the feas...
