Implications for Dance/movement Therapy in Forensics
註釋This literature-based study presents a training module that applies dance/movement therapy (DMT) observation methods as assessment tools in the realm of forensics. Literature on behavioral research, nonverbal communication, the forensic applications of nonverbal communication, movement studies, and the current ethical implications of behavioral science in the courtroom is reviewed. This investigation discusses the current uses and problems presented in using trial consultants and how movement observation techniques may assist in regulating this field. Literature linking behavioral research and DMT assessment is presented for the purpose of understanding how the two domains can be synthesized for the use in the legal field. From this analysis, a theoretical model that applies DMT to behavioral evaluation in the courtroom evolved. This model identifies four categories for the assessment of nonverbal behavior in this setting. The training module illustrates how this application could be taught to law students. Recommendations for future research with the model are provided.
