Don Hanlon Johnson
This book is about healing fractures in our personal and social bodies that cripple our ability to take firm stands and move freely. It explores the ways in which societal pressures mold our bodies and our attitudes, and looks at the split between body and soul which is so much a part of modern culture. A tremendously thoughtful book - must reading for all bodyworkers who wish to understand where bodywork is coming from and where it may be going to.

Jack Lee Rosenberg & Marjorie Rand
"Dr Jack Rosenberg has emerged as one of the most knowledgeable body-oriented psychotherapists alive. His imaginative approach to freeing bodily tensions, releasing long-held emotions and thereby enhancing mental and physical health, represents a superior integration of numerous therapeutic disciplines. Body, Self and Soul is must reading for anyone interested in understanding the way in which the mind and body interact in states of disease and super-health." Ken Dychtwald. "This book joins insights from Western and Eastern psychologies, from cognitive and somatic approaches to health, from ancient and contemporary sources of human understanding. The author's broad perspective is a welcome relief from the narrowness of most self-development systems. Body, Self and Soul is thoughtful, practical and very well-informed." - Michael Murphy.

John C Pierrakos
"John Pierrakos's theme is the human Core, the blockages to Core feeling in the human body and psyche. As the co-founder of bio-energetics, Pierrakos spent more than 20 years developing energy-mobilisation methods to soften the muscular armour of the over-defended body... Core Energetics...deepens this psychosomatic work by drawing on his extensive knowledge of the human energy field (aura) and on group methods for increasing our contact to the inner essence in each of us... After reading this book...I felt renewed hope and commitment to the basic decency in each person which Core Energetics seeks first to recognise, then to liberate from our destructive manipulation..." David Boadella. "One finishes reading this book filled with wonder, and determined to accept the responsibility assigned by Pierrakos in order to transform oneself and one's world." Stanley Krippner. Recommended.

Malcolm Brown
Malcolm Brown Ph.D. began his work in body psychotherapy in London in 1964, organising and leading training programs as a colleague of Alexander Lowen. Influenced by W. Reich, C. G. Jung, A. Maslow, E. Neumann, K. Goldstein, C. Rogers and D. H. Lawrence, Malcolm Brown developed his own methods of dissolving chronic muscular tensions and reactivating the natural mental-spiritual polarities of the embodied soul and transcendental psyche. Brown’s theories of body psychotherapy postulate the fundamental importance of the ontological Being Centres of Agape-Eros, Hara, Logos and the Spiritual Warrior as being the final goals of the de-armouring process. As such, he contests Reich’s theories about the formation of character-muscular armouring. His primary purpose in writing The Healing Touch is to help students and practising psychotherapists gain a greater theoretical clarity and pragmatic appreciation of the use of yin/yang bodywork methods with an essentially humanistic clinical framework. Because he includes spiritual and subtle imaginative psychic dimensions of the embodied soul in his work, his unique approach sets a new guideline in the field of therapy.

Robert Masters
This unique work is the culmination of 30 years of consciousness studies at the foundation for Mind Research. The concept of "neurospeak" is founded on the premise that the written word can transform into flesh through the metabolism of information into molecules. Neurospeak the book attempts to elicit changes in musculature, body organs, the nervous system and other dimensions of life, as well as through a series of "body games for the 21st century." The potential for ultimate change is immediately stimulated by the simultaneous acts of "conscious reading" and "mind-body application." "This book is a masterpiece that will lead us into a new era." - Deepak Chopra.
