Abstract

The Research and Practice Committee of the American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA) presents the research and thesis poster session at each annual conference. The abstracts reported in this paper were selected by the authors for the 2021 Virtual Research and Thesis Poster Session at the 56th Annual ADTA Conference. This year, the 56th Annual ADTA conference took place online, on a virtual platform, and Research and Thesis Poster Session featured two themes: (1) DMT Towards building Resiliency; and (2) DMT Insights from Practice. The following six abstracts have been selected for their quality and contributions to dance/movement therapy literature and feature a wide range of scholarly works in current research.
