What is Connections And Parallels Between Humanistic Psychology And Modern Dance At Jacob's Pillow (STUDIES IN DANCE) about?

The birth of humanistic psychology and of modern dance in America share characteristics, Hoffman argues: Both emphasized the need for personal liberation, and both represented a rebellious response to the status quo. Hoffman, a dance therapist in private practice in New York, searches out the connections between the disciplines. Her study is based on interviews with modern dancers involved in the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival and on literature reviews that explore the writings of four pioneers of humanistic psychology—Abraham Maslow, Rollo May, Carl Rogers, and James Bugental—as well as dancers (Ted Shawn, Ruth St. Denis, Martha Graham, and others) and dance/movement therapists.
