Abstract
Abstract: Group movement therapy sessions, in which mutual touching, the expression of memories, and the sharing of feelings are encouraged, provide one place where nursing home residents may explore their sexuality. Sound and movement activities create an atmosphere of excitement which can have a revitalizing effect on older people. The therapist is often the first recipient of clients’ erotic fantasies and can use the individual transferences to facilitate the development of a group identity and peer interaction. Patients’ sexually provocative behavior, especially when directed at the therapist, should be regarded as potentially meaningful since it may mask feelings such as neediness or rage. Issues, including the longing for companionship, fear of physical deterioration, and sexual frustration, commonly emerge in movement therapy sessions. These issues are acknowledged and explored in the supportive environment of the group where a spirit of playfulness eases the discomfort of dealing with painful or embarrassing material.
