633 ENGLISH SUMMARY Dewy and Mireille This case revolved around Dewy, a 7-year-old girl who was placed in a foster family a year after her birth. Dewy exhibits unacceptable and maladaptive behaviour and cannot be corrected through verbal language. The case report indicates diagnoses of reactive attachment disorder and ADHD. The therapist is Mireille, a 24-year-old woman and master’s student in pedagogy. During her bachelor’s degree in educational sciences, Mireille became familiar with the Movement-as-anchor method and learned to apply its principles in a client support process. At the start of the intervention, a movement analysis was conducted of Dewy in relation to therapist Mireille. Both were sitting outside on the trampoline, with a bag of balls of yarn between them. The plan was to create a necklace for Dewy using the yarn. The analysis revealed that episodes of togetherness occurred less frequently than moments of behaving independently of one another. Moreover, the few moments of togetherness were initiated by Mireille, with Dewy following her lead. The goal of the intervention was to develop reciprocity by developing Dewy’s ability to follow and extending the duration of their shared moments. It was expected that as Dewy’s ability to follow develops in relation to Mireille, it will also generalize to others and improve the relationships between Dewy and her family members. The intervention took place in the context of play. Over the course of an eight-month period, Mireille initially focused on developing a shared focus on the game they played and then on each other. Mireille directed her gaze to the game, which caused Dewy to do so as well, thus initiating beginning and following behaviour. After eight months of intervention, the results of CRQA revealed an increase in Dewy’s following behaviour and an increased focus on the game and one another. This behaviour generalised to Dewy’s relationships with other family member and prevented an impending out-of-home placement. Menno and Joram This case revolved around Menno, a 21-year-old young man who lives with his parents and two brothers, aged 23 and 20. The case report stated that Menno had been diagnosed with intellectual disability and autism. Menno is dependent on a protected living environment. The problems that the parents experience with Menno are primarily related to a lack of reciprocity, rather weak self-regulation skills, and a high degree of self-determined behaviour. The lack of reciprocity manifests itself in various ways. If Menno wants something, it must be done his way and on his schedule. If Menno does not get what he wants, he becomes angry and starts throwing, yelling, and kicking. His parents must take him to his room to calm down and regain composure. This can last for 15 minutes or even several hours. The therapist is Joram, a 44-year-old man trained as a social worker in the field of disability care and an expert in Movement-as-anchor. At the beginning of the treatment, a movement analysis was made of Menno and Joram looking at aeroplane flyers. Joram and Menno sit across from each other on a A
