Somatics and the Term “Bodywork” (1999)

An Explanation of the Development of My Somatic Psychotherapeutic Work (1994)
Eva Reich asked me to write a chapter for a book about her work that was being prepared in Germany. I wrote to the editor in order to make contact and to give her an idea of my work and what kind of article I could write. I expected her to respond to my letter and give me perimeters to begin working on a piece for her book. To my surprise she accepted my entire letter as the chapter for the book! Continue reading
