In this paper we offer a review of the refugee experience with a specific focus on those refugees recently resettled in the United States. We expand on the importance of trauma-informed care that is culturally sensitive, somatically informed, and strength/resource-based. Dance/movement therapy (DMT), with its emphasis on somatic and psychological issues, appears to be a fitting modality for refugees and has been applied in several studies. However, an empirically established clinical framework that offers guidelines for dance/movement therapists working with refugees has not yet been established. In order to fill this gap, we present a DMT guide that is based on a thematic analysis of some of the existing studies with this population. We go on to describe how this guide served as a useful structure in the work with refugees by example of its application in a recent grounded theory study and share additional skills that were found to be helpful. We close with overall clinical recommendations, challenges encountered, and reflections on the DMT work with refugees.

在本文中，我们对难民的经历进行了回顾，重点关注了最近在美国定居的那些难民。我们扩大了对创伤敏感的护理的重要性，这种护理具有文化敏感性，身体知情性和基于力量/资源的基础。侧重于身体和心理问题的舞蹈/运动疗法（DMT）似乎是难民的合适方式，并已在多项研究中得到应用。但是，还没有建立以经验为基础的临床框架，该框架为与难民合作的舞蹈/运动治疗师提供指导。为了填补这一空白，我们提供了DMT指南，该指南基于对该人群现有研究的主题分析。我们将通过在最近扎根的理论研究中应用该指南的示例，来描述该指南如何在与难民的工作中发挥有用的结构，并分享发现有用的其他技能。我们以总体临床建议，遇到的挑战以及对DMT与难民合作的思考作为结尾。
