„Wär’ schön, wenn sie’s schaffen würde!“ : Das Kestenberg Movement Profile, Inas Kinderanalyse und ein Vorschlag zur Flexibilität

Abstract

This article is based on the KMP (Kestenberg Movement Profile) for assessment of child development and movement behavior. I investigate characteristic movement patterns in a videotaped child psychoanalytic session. How do therapist and child move together? Since the KMP is commonly applied in dance therapy to evaluate movement skills and give support to development process, I will propose some suggestions for alternative modes of moving and encourage the building up of a new dialogue through action modification.
