Abstract
Dance/Movement Therapy, like all psychotherapies, is in need of assessment methods that meet the demands of managed care. Through Laban Movement Analysis therapists are able to assess dynamic qualities of movement, known as Effort elements. This study introduces the Moving Story Effort Assessment (MSEA), a movement assessment for preadolescent children, which uses imagery as a catalyst for Effort production. The assessment was administered to 31 healthy children aged 8-11 years, and the movement rated by 3 trained observers. The findings suggest that the tested images consistently result in eliciting a specific Effort quality. The data collected from this study may therefore be used to assist dance/movement therapists in the assessment of children by comparing this study's normative results to the child being assessed.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
