Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 April 2020
Abstract
Development is a continuous procedure of innate and extraneous factors. One person's personality is formed by these factors, starting from the early childhood. Movement, cognitive, personal and social development, self-esteem and self-confidence are parts of the total human growth. Any behavior, adaptation or experience can be expressed by human body. During communication, the biggest part, is carried out by non verbal communication. Human body plays the most important role to conscious of the relationship between movement and expression ability during communication. Drug addicted people assign themselves, psychological and biological to "substance". As a result, they loose the control of their bodies. So, every withdrawal attempt should work, not only with the psychical part of the addiction, but with the physical dimension, too. Then, can be thought as completed. The purpose of this study is to present "body awareness groups", which work out in an alternative "therapy" program to deal with addiction to drug. The purpose of these groups is to help drug addicted people to realize that their body can be a medium for express emotions and communication. Member's participation and behavior compares and assesses with their general function to the rest of the "therapeutic groups". The result of this assessment refer to the total psychological and biological withdrawal attempt.
