Shifts among selected movement and psychodynamic variables were tracked at set time intervals over the duration of 2 two-year long psychodynamically-oriented dance/movement therapy groups; the two groups were combined into one for the purpose of statistical analyses. The findings confirmed clinically-predicted changes among participants relative to individual and interactional movement style, and with respect to the following psychodynamic variables: object-choice of prevailing fantasy, prevailing affective theme explored, level of group trust and selfesteem experienced, and perception of therapist (as an experiential container, a provider of movement structure, and an interpreter of meaning). The results further revealed several patterns within as well as between some of the psychodynamic variables studied. For example, two different patterns emerged among participants with regard to their fantasy object-choice and affective themes explored. Additonally, the working through of anger and rage was followed by a rise in self-esteem and group trust during the first year; the latter changes in turn, were succeeded by an exploration of issues of intimacy-dependency and separation-loss during the second year. The clinical implications of the findings were discussed. Support was found for the application of an attachment-separation developmental framework to the evolving therapeutic group process.
