ABSTRACT Attachment theory is well-recognised for understanding and treating adult love relationships. Neuroscientific research highlights the implicit process of attachment and the unconscious, nonverbal, bodily-based, and affect-regulating interactions of the right brain hemispheres in attachment development. Effective couple therapy ought to consider the implicit processes between infants and caregivers as a model to develop secure attachment in romantic partners, which makes dance/movement therapy (D/MT) a valuable treatment modality. Mirroring is a staple D/MT intervention that involves imitation of a client’s movement by the therapist to enhance attunement and empathy. In this paper, the author explores the overlap between attachment theory, neuroscience, dance/movement therapy, and couple therapy. A theoretical model is proposed for the use of mirroring with couples to foster secure attachment by means of attunement on a bodily-based level. Future research is suggested in order to measure the effectiveness of mirroring on couples’ attachment.

体现性：与伴侣共舞/运动疗法

摘要依恋理论在理解和治疗成人恋爱关系方面广为人知。神经科学研究突出了依恋的隐性过程，以及右脑半球在依恋发展中的无意识，非言语，基于身体和调节情绪的相互作用。有效的夫妻疗法应考虑婴儿和照顾者之间的隐性过程，作为在浪漫伴侣中建立牢固依恋的模型，这使舞蹈/运动疗法（D / MT）成为一种有价值的治疗方式。镜像是D / MT的主要干预措施，涉及由治疗师模仿服务对象的动作以增强协调感和同理心。在本文中，作者探讨了依恋理论，神经科学，舞蹈/运动疗法和夫妻疗法之间的重叠。提出了一种理论模型，该模型用于通过夫妇进行镜像以通过基于身体的协调来促进安全的依恋。建议进行进一步的研究，以衡量镜像对夫妇依恋的有效性。
