Bonding ability is demonstrated through physical behavior, both by the child and by you as the accompanying person—and it determines how capable a person is and can become in terms of development.
As interested dance therapists, psychotherapists, and teachers, you will find this course to be a key to understanding attachment behavior through movement behavior and providing targeted support. The Kestenberg Movement Profile (KMP) provides a clear, differentiated system in which attachment, affect regulation, and development become physically visible and therapeutically usable.
The course introduces the origins and significance of the KMP as well as the developmental framework according to Judith Kestenberg. Through guided movement research, you will discover your own movement profile as a basis for self-awareness and professional presence and for establishing contact through your own body and movement behavior. Theory, embodiment, observation, and notation are closely intertwined.
Central to this is the distinction between intrapsychic development and interpersonal development. You will learn how to use movement recognition to understand the bonding experiences of empathy, defense, and coping, as well as how to support and promote trust, contact, and object constancy.
Attunement, alignment, and clash become recognizable as crucial developmental steps, enabling you to provide the right developmental impulses. In this way, KMP becomes a bonding-oriented developmental model that supports therapeutic relationship building in a precise, well-founded, and effective manner—even in an online setting.
