Dance Therapy in New York

Any human being has at some time experienced depression. If it is not too serious a problem, we can save ourselves in the course of our daily lives. But if the depression is not something we can conquer by ourselves, we have to seek a specialist's assistance. In the United States, Dance Therapy is often used to deal with these mental states. The therapy which uses dance has already spread around the world; however, it is not too familiar to the general public. This is the second time we have featured this therapy; last year we visited a session with a group of intellectually disabled people. This time we introduce you to another group session with people who suffer from various psychiatric illnesses. This time, again, Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York, gave us an opportunity to observe a session and interview Nancy Koprak, MA, ADTR, along with Tricia Capello, MA, ADTR, NCC, who spoke to us last year.
