The potential of dance therapy as a viable treatment alternative for emotionally disturbed and learning disabled children is the focus of this study. From a survey of dance historically, including a discussion of its ancient role as a healing art, dance as therapy is viewed from several perspectives. In order to help isolate it as a discrete phenomenon, it is discussed in relation to pure and basic dance, in relation to the body therapies, in relation to body-mind interaction as described by Darwin, Freud, Reich, Deutsch, Mittlemann, and Fries, in relation to the mother-child relationship as developed by Modell, Winnicott, Escalona, and Kestenberg, and in its relation to perceptual motor development. The review includes a discussion of the major pioneers in dance therapy and an analysis of the theories and methods of dance therapists specializing with children. From the analysis it was suggested that dance therapy for the special child is presently nomenclature for a wide variety of techniques and methods with few uniquely developed conceptual theories. Based upon abstractions from several key constructs, including mother-child attunement, object relations theory, body-image and self-concept development, energy flow and developmental movement, an "integrative treatment model" of dance therapy is offered as a possible cohesive system of treatment. Characteristics of special children exhibiting behavioral and learning disorders are presented in order to relate the model to the treatment needs of such children. The treatment model suggests interventions related to the child's manifest behavior, developmental and pre-learning skill needs, and personality development. One conclusion offered is that dance therapy may have the potential for reaching special children at an early developmental level, possibly as a recapitulation of the early, dyadic, mother-child relationship. How this nonverbal interaction between a therapist and child can be achieved through a planned, rhythmical-flow relationship which in turn causes mutually interactional synchrony and attunement to be realized, is developed in this dissertation.
