The main objects of this paper are to introduce how to organize the dance therapy session intended for inpatients of a collaborative psychiatric hospital in Ibaragi prefecture; and to develop an outcome measurement of the session on their interactive physical communication through expressive bady movements. In order to develop the quantitative model assessing how patients' interactive physical communication is promoted through the sessions, we collect 20 principal indicators based on our previous studies on "interactive physical synchronization (kyoshin)" on expressive body movements. We apply a hierarchical cluster method (called multidimensional scaling method) evaluating the degree of interactive physical communication for 7 male and 17 female patients through the dance thrapy performed four-times from January through March in 2004. Cosequently, we found that our therapy program would motivate patients to achieve their creative and unique expressive body movements and it would lead them to higher degree of interactive physical communication. Also, we foud that the quantitative model is applicable to locate relative relation between "activity" and "passivity" among patients.
