      ab: This article focuses on Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) as a psychosocial intervention relevant to social work practice. Defined by the American Dance Therapy Association as the psychotherapeutic use of movement to promote emotional, social, cognitive, and physical integration, DMT draws on various therapeutic modalities to support clients, especially those experiencing trauma or mental health challenges. The article highlights benefits for both clients and social workers, including nonverbal trauma processing, enhanced therapeutic alliances, and self-care for practitioners. It also discusses current barriers to access and training for social workers, outlining certification requirements, funding opportunities, and strategies to integrate DMT into social work education and practice.
