ABSTRACT
In order to complete their training as mental health professionals, arts therapies students must undergo a period of clinical supervision. Supervision is an important educational component, but it relies on there being a supportive relationship for supervisees’ professional growth. Dance movement psychotherapists have come to understand the importance of incorporating body movement both in therapeutic treatments and during supervision. Although the literature has indicated the benefits of using the arts in supervision and has revealed barriers for Korean supervisees, body movement has not yet actively informed or been adapted into clinical supervision in clinical supervision. Movement-based supervision-integrated body movement in clinical supervision offers supervisees the opportunity to tap into their body knowledge and to unlock symbolic expression. The movement intervention was improvised, based on reflecting upon an emergent theme from group check-ins. Using movement and art in clinical supervision as non-verbal expressive tool facilitated authentic and symbolic expression in dialogue among group members.
