Dance therapy reduces negative conception, depression, and anxiety of schizophrenics and help them to recover from motor paralysis so that they can hold positive body-image. They are able to have opportunities to express their wills through neurological function and circulation organ work. Self-image and active self-conception can be promoted through integration and acception of physical-self, which will help schizophrenics lead normal life when they return to the society. The main purpose of the study is define the influence of dance therapy on body-image of chronic schizophrenics. For the study, thirty patients who are being treated by psychiatry doctors were selected. They were divided into two groups; therapy-applied group and comparing group. The former consists of eight females and seven males, and the latter, nine females and six males. Dance therapy course was applied to the former group for ten weeks, once a day twice a week. The dance therapy course was applied in sixteen stages. The physical variation of both groups was examined with figure picture examination method. The results are as follows; Significant increase appeared in the head of the therapy-applied group which showed severe distorted condition on the examination before the therapy was applied(female: t(8)= -3.72, P<.01 ; male: t(7)= -8.21, P<.001). A great deal of improvement into the right body-image appeared in the arm part(female: t(8)=-4.64, P>.01 ; male: t(7)=-4.22, P<.01). Futhermore, after the therapy was applied, they were able to perceive and express freely in the minute pars such as eyes, noses and fingers. As for the body-image of the part which shows the entire body, unstable part was improved and became stable (female: t(8)=-6.11, P<.001 : male: t(7)= -6.13, P<.001). The parts separately divided into the head, the upper part of the body and the lower part of the body in perception were able to work in harmony(female: t(8)= -3.08, P<.05 ; male: (t)= -2.71, P<.05) As a result of figure picture after the therapy was applied, it appeared that significant increase was made, compared to the examination before the therapy was applied, when both female and male of the group showed distorted body-image(female: t(8)= -9.40, P<.001 ; male: t(7)= -10.22, P<.001), no significant increase showed in the comparing group after ten weeks. In conclusion, the dance therapy appears to be very effective to correct and improve body-image of schizophrenics. Therefore, the dance therapy should be selected as a method of psychotherapy.
