description: In reviewing published materials offered through ADTA, it became clear that a collection of isolated treasures would soon be lost - to the membership, to students of dance/movement therapy, and to all interested in the field. In early 1988, the ADTA Board of Directors decided to research the out-of-print materials and publish those articles which were still meaningful but no longer available....Important contributions as early as 1956 and as late as 1974 are included in this collection...We believe these articles to be as valid today as when they were written. As the field develops and expands, it is esential to understand and incorporate the ideas that facilitated that growth. This compilation is devoted to that which developed our theoretical movement as expression; rhythm; non-verbal interaction; dance as an integral part of culture; the intrinsic value of the creative arts in therapy; research for a developing profession; movement observation as a training tool; and how the process of dance/movement therapy is viewed by verbal psychotherapists. --- excerpts from Introduction by Stephanie S. Katz, ADTA President
