The sentence, "In contrast to artistic dance, which is usually concerned with the aesthetic appearance of movement, dance therapy explores the nature all movement." does not sound correct to me. I think it should be, "dance therapy explores the nature of all movement."-- 71.194.247.36 ( talk) 20:12, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
I deleted most of the external links on this page because Wikipedia is neither a repository of links nor a directory. Links designed to call attention to a provider of dance therapy are not appropriate even if the page also contains information about dance therapy.-- FreeKresge 04:21, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I'm doing a project for my psychology program consisting of contributing to a relative wiki page. I would like to be able to provide a few sentences to the Dance Therapy page. My contributions would be posted after thorough research on the subject, all edits will be factual. Would it be possible to add a sentence on developmental movement therapy identifying with dance therapy?
I'm also new to editing wikipedia and would appreciate any suggestions or guidance. Thank you! — Preceding

How can the introduction of the idea of DMT to the US by Marian Chace represent "inspiring the first wave of DMT" when the development and use of dance therapy in the UK in the 19th century must, surely, be the first wave (according to this same Wikipedia entry)? Clearly, the first wave was "dance being used as a form of therapy... as far back as the 19th century in the UK". Marian Chace's introduction of DMT to the US can surely only be considered to have "inspired" the SECOND wave!
This article states "The development of DMT can be split into two waves throughout history", then makes a mockery of that claim by then stating that the development and use of dance therapy first occurred in the UK in the 19th century, implying that this wasn't one of the stages or "waves" of its development.

So, I've added some things to this article. I added an entire section on the use of DT for anxiety, depression, and severe stress. From the research I found, that seems to be what it is most commonly used to treat. I also added a paragraph or two to the Education and Principles section. Lastly, I added the last two sentences to the Effectiveness section. Just wanted to make you all aware of the changes I've made! I appreciate any constructive criticism you may offer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harper5 ( talk • contribs) 14:30, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Ok, I'm afraid to say that this article is not ready for GA status; there are two significant problems with the article at this time that I want to draw your attention to. The first is one of poor sourcing, and the second is one of neutrality. First of all, I will talk about sourcing.
Medical articles in particular require very careful sourcing, the guidelines of which are laid out here. Ideally, the bulk of the article should be sourced to "general or systematic reviews published in reputable medical journals, academic and professional books written by experts in the relevant field and from a respected publisher, and medical guidelines or position statements from nationally or internationally recognised expert bodies." In this article, we see references to:
On that note, there are some formatting issues with the references; while these can be overlooked for the most part at GAC, there are some problems that are best dealt with. Three quick points;
And now onto my second issue; neutrality. Wikipedia articles need to be written from the neutral point of view. This is very different from the sympathetic point of view, and entails not offering undue weight to fringe views. Now, I'm not going to commit to calling dance therapy a fringe point of view; I am not qualified to do something like that. However, this article does seem very sympathetic to the movement, and in places does not read anything like a neutral encyclopedia article. Some choice quotes:
To make clear, I personally have no opinion on the merits of dance therapy; I do not have a medical background, and would not be qualified to comment. I am, however, trying to play devil's advocate to point out problems with this article.
I hope I have made clear why I do not feel that this article is close to good status. If you have any questions, please post them here. If you are looking for help with the article, people over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine may be able to help. They also have a psychiatry task force. J Milburn ( talk) 22:11, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
Question about sources- you listed WHO, NIH, ect. but Wikipedia say to use secondary sources, would these kinds of sources, like NIH, be primary sources and AMerican Dance therapy Assoc. be secondary? — Preceding

Hello Meredith I would also be willing to put some work into this. I am a Somatic Movement Therapist and work alongside various people who are DMPs (I’m in the UK), so I am quite up to date with current practice, at least in the UK. SebastianBechinger ( talk) 00:52, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
Movement therapy shouldn't redirect here. "Dance/Movement Therapy" as it is being called here is a branch of movement therapy, and not the otherway around. To refer movement therapy here is to imply all movement therapy comes from dance, ignoring the wide range of methodologies evolved from yoga therapy, tai chi, feldenkrais, somatic and physical therapy techniques et cetera. It's like having the word 'bird' take you the page about bluejays. This page is giving an overly narrow definition to movement therapy which should either be a different page, or "DMT" should be a subheader for the parent topic of movement therapy.

The history section of this page could do with some serious work. Citing Marion Chase and Mary Stark-Whitehouse is a good start but development of DMP/DMT as a field has had a complex and pluralistic history and I think it would be good to have at least reference to some of the major influences including Somatics, psychoanalytically based Art Therapy etc. Also perhaps to mention that the field did not start with some consensus about what DMT is and what it includes - to this day there is debate about whether, for example, developmental movement therapy belongs to an aspect of DMT or not.
Additionally, since almost every DMT that I know works pretty heavily with Laban Movement Analysis in some way, I think the influence of Irmgard Bartinieff (one of Laban’s students) and Judith Kestenberg (one of Bartinieff’s students) needs some more reference.
