ABSTRACT

This article presents and discusses the subjective experiences of mothers who took part in group Parent-Child Dance and Movement Therapy (PCDMT) with their children. A semi-structured, open-ended interview was conducted with 18 mothers on their experiences as active participants in the therapeutic process and the effects of this process on the relationship with their children. Grounded theory analysis revealed four themes: (1) The contribution of group PCDMT to the mother-child relationship. (2) Movement as a therapeutic intervention in group PCDMT. (3) The mothers’ insights deriving from therapeutic process. (4) The mothers’ perceptions of PCDMT in a group setting. The findings suggest that the dyadic joint movement activity contributes significantly to the relational fabric between these mothers and children.

摘要

本文介绍并讨论了与孩子一起参加“亲子舞蹈和运动疗法”（PCDMT）小组的母亲的主观体验。对18位母亲进行了半结构化，不限成员名额的访谈，以她们作为治疗过程的积极参与者的经历以及该过程对其与孩子的关系的影响。扎根的理论分析揭示了四个主题：（1）PCDMT组对母子关系的贡献。（2）运动作为PCDMT组的治疗干预。（3）母亲的见解来自治疗过程。（4）母亲在小组环境中对PCDMT的看法。研究结果表明，二元关节运动对这些母亲和孩子之间的关系结构起了重要作用。
