Seeing facial expressions
Interesting linked story from USA-NPR. “A new study suggests that people actually don’t use (those kinds of) extreme facial expressions to judge how a person is feeling. Instead, surprisingly, people rely on body cues.”
This, of course is not a surprise to Dance Movement Therapists. 🙂 We are trained to assess peoples feelings based on among other things, their whole body.
This story reminded me of a quote from W.B. Yeats; ““We only believe those thoughts which have been conceived not in the brain but in the whole body.”
In the context of this story I guess it would be: “We only believe those emotions expressed by the whole body and not just the face” R.B. Brunner

Preferences for group arts therapies
From BMJ Open:
Abstract
Objectives The arts therapies include music therapy, dance movement therapy, art therapy and dramatherapy. Preferences for art forms may play an important role in engagement with treatment. This survey was an initial exploration of who is interested in group arts therapies, what they would choose and why.
Conclusions Large proportions of the participants expressed an interest in group arts therapies. This may justify the wide provision of arts therapies and the offer of more than one modality to interested patients. It also highlights key considerations for assessment of preferences in the arts therapies as part of shared decision-making.Read the entire article at BMJ Open.
