Summary: Well worth the effort
Review: Joan Chodorow has done a masterful job of bringing together Jung's work on active imagination in a book that ranges from the extremely dense material typical of Jung to the very practical and "moving." I found myself dipping in and out rather than trying to absorb it straight through.

Summary: A good introduction to the theory behind dance therapy
Review: This book isn't an easy read: the autobiographical first section is straightforward and engaging; however, in the second section, when she outlines the theoretical background and underpinnings of her method, it becomes rather heavy going. (The book was based on her dissertation, and it shows here. At least the chapters are fairly concise, but, if you start getting bogged down in this section, skip to the last 4 chapters.) However, in the final section, everything comes together and makes sense: the discussion of the various "movement themes," what they signify, and where they originate in the mover's psyche, is clear, understandable, and applicable in practice. For the reader with an academic background in psychology, this is a good introduction to the subject of dance therapy; if you come to the book from a dance perspective, it will increase your understanding of why certain movements are powerfully evocative, and perhaps give you some insight into what your own dance style expresses.
