We were interested in investigating the effects of dance movement therapy (DMT) in
a psychiatric outpatient clinic with patients diagnosed with depression. DMT aims to
engage the patients in physical and verbal exploration of their experiences generated
in movement based interaction. The assumption was that DMT, which includes both
physical engagement as well as emotional and social exploration, would alleviate the
mood and psychiatric symptoms. All adult patients (n = 33) included in the study
received treatment as usual (TAU). Twenty-one patients participated in a 12-session DMT
group intervention, and the remaining 12 patients chose to take TAU only. The majority
of the patients suffered from moderate or severe depression, recurrent and/or chronic
type. The effects of the interventions were investigated after the intervention, and at
3-month follow-up. Compared to the TAU, adding DMT seemed to improve the effect
of the treatment. The effect of the DMT was observable whether the patient was taking
antidepressant medication or not. At follow-up, between group effect sizes (ES) were
medium in favor for the DMT group (d = 0.60–0.79). In the DMT group, the within ES
at the 3 months follow-up varied from 0.62 to 0.82 as compared to TAU 0.15–0.37. The
results indicated that DMT is beneficial in the treatment of depressed patients.
