Kestenberg Movement Profile における運動分析専門用語の解釈に関する検討

There are lots of obstacles to interpret technical terms of movement analysis such as differences of English and Japanese. Kestenberg Movement Profile（KMP） is an useful method to evaluate children’s movement, however it is difficult to understand by simple translations into Japanese just referring to English-Japanese dictionary. So it needs a kind of special words to bridge the gaps between linguistic words and actual meanings. Questionnaire survey was done in order to pickup specific imaginary words to express the movements’ essence. 13 female university students who don’t know KMP chose appropriate words by themselves freely to express each movement, observing it by KMP specialist. They could choose any Japanese word and sentence selecting verbs, nouns, adjectives, and onomatopoeias. The result told us that much more onomatopoeias were used than verbs and adjectives. Focusing on Tension Flow Rhythm（TFR）, we also have to interpret psychoanalytic meanings behind each word. In order to choose the best Japanese translation words, we need diverse information from visual, linguistic and basic understanding for the frame of references. It is also recognized that opposite Japanese words would be better than direct translation words when we cannot figure out what KMP technical terms meant. In addition, we should refer psychoanalytic developmental theory such as oral, anal, urethral, inner genital and outer genital phases when we translate Tension Flow Rhythm into Japanese
