This study focuses on the analysis of trend focusing on the researches designed to verify the effect of the application of dependent variables in the researches of the domestic dance movement therapy, which were from 2005 to 2016. The data was analyzed on the characteristics of research and topics, characteristics of research target and characteristics of intervention. A final of 92 studies were selected among the data related to characteristics of research and topics for analysis. The findings are as follows. First, as for the term, the term ‘dance movement therapy’ was most widely used and most of the studies were published in 2006.

According to the results above, this study tries to prepare the grounds for effective application of program based on the characteristics of target subjects, number of targets proper for the study, intervention time, intervention period and analysis of the research issue. From the findings and from the analysis of the research trend, the grounds were prepared for the development of reference for the operation of the dance movement therapy. In addition, based on the dependent variables whose effects have been verified, effective characteristics of the dance movement therapy are suggested and the direction of future study is discussed.
