Supporting Our Youngest Patients Psychic and Somatic Distress: Psychiatric and Pediatric Medical Dance

Date & Time:

Thursday, January 19, 2023

11 AM- 12:30 PM ET

Location:

Virtual Lecture

Course Description

Trauma research demonstrates that early memory is multisensory, somatic, and kinesthetic. In this workshop participants will learn how psychiatry and dance/movement therapy professionals collaborate within the integrative medicine service multidisciplinary team to support pediatric patients and their families. The principles of infant mental health provide a lens to understanding the complex role medical illness plays in the young child’s psychic and relational development. Dance/movement therapy (DMT) provides a way to address how children’s embodied experience during medical procedures affects development on all levels. The use of DMT for self-expression and coping, self-regulation, pain management, trauma prevention, and family intervention are highlighted. The presenters address the role of infant mental health and provide an overview of the history and research of the pediatric medical DMT field.
