| Abstract | Obesity and disturbed eating behaviors are both associated with low self-esteem and distorted body images. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of a dance therapy program on the evolution of mental representations linked to body image among obese patients. Changes in body image were evaluated in terms of four parameters: physical, psychological, cognitive, and social. |
the amendment process starting from a body with vague denitions would awaken the patients senses in terms of kinesthetic exteroceptive proprioceptive and interoceptive sense. the purpose of this study was to determine the inuence of a dance therapy workshop dtw program on the development of mental representations associated with body consciousness and self-image in obese individuals. dance therapy was proposed to patients instead of conven- tional physical activity workshops. during these workshops patients learned to evaluate their body image in their daily lives using observation tools. they went through a process of analyzing their body movements and language perceiving their bodies as articulated and uid rather than as a rigid mass.
