PINHO, Ana Maria Melo de et al. Community Psychology and Biodance: contributions on experience category. Aletheia [online]. 2009, n.30, pp. 27-38. ISSN 1413-0394.

Community Psychology can be defined as an area of the Social Psychology of Liberation (Góis, 2005), dedicated to the understanding of community activity as a significant and aware social activity and to the understanding of its impacts on the objective and subjective dimensions. This article aims to understand in which way the approach of Biodance can dialogue and contribute to the construction of the theoretical and methodological framework of Community Psychology. The methodology used was theoretical research. Supporting on the paradigm of complexity represents the chance to validate a knowledge that is recognized primarily as transdisciplinary. This article has allowed a breakthrough in the systematization and legitimacy of the transdisciplinary dialogue between Biodance and Community Psychology, integrating the category experience in theoretical and methodological framework of Community Psychology and training of community psychologists.

Keywords : Community psychology; Biodance; Experience.
