Abstract

Dance therapy Social phobia Intimacy (Psychology) Cognitive therapy
The purpose of this Capstone Thesis Project, which is a critical review of the literature, is twofold. First is to examine the current landscape of social anxiety in the context of intimacy. Past seminal research, as well as up-to-date research is included. The landscape of social anxiety in the context of intimacy is explored through three main categories: 1) Communication and Intimacy 2) Emotion, Cognition and Well-Being and 3) Interventions. The second purpose revolves around ideas on how to enhance current treatment protocols. These ideas are both didactic and experiential in nature, the latter of which incorporates principles from dance/movement therapy. Finally, a general reflection on the observations, as well as a reflection on the process of writing the thesis, is included.
