Second, as for the pathway to the awareness of alternative therapy, 59 (16.9%) responded ‘Family or acquaintances’, which was the highest. Third, although there were no statistically significant differences in the awareness of alternative therapy depending on career, there were significant differences depending on major, in relation to ‘7.

Fourth, as for the experience of alternative therapy, 146 (41.7%) turned out to use it for ‘Dance/movement therapy’, which was the highest.
