Reviews
With this volume, Jennifer Tantia continues her extended efforts to weave together what began half a century ago as a widespread and often competitive collection of brilliant healers, craftspeople, therapists, and visionaries into a community focusing on shared models of public education, professional trainings, and research-grounded theories. Dr Tantia has played a difficult and crucial role, facing a number of practitioners who often resist what they see as the intrusions of critical thinking into their personal views of their works. She has worked skilfully over a number of years to show that without collaborative and critical research, our works are confined to a small population of people who have the money and leisure to profit from them. Her support of reflective thinking about these works, and her gathering of the thoughtful people in this and other volumes, to these new modes of healing and transformation - opens the doors to the public access now accorded to biomedicine and certain approaches to psychotherapy. - Don Hanlon Johnson, Professor of Somatics, California Institute of Integral Studies, USA I congratulate the editor Dr. Jennifer Tantia, and all the authors, for this much-needed contribution to not only research in the fields of dance movement and body psychotherapies but also to research methodology in general. - Professor Helen Payne, PhD. UKCP Reg. Psychotherapist and ADMP UK Reg. Dance Movement Psychotherapist This volume restores much needed embodied intimacy to ways of knowing that are full of texture and meaning. - Les Todres, Emeritus Professor, Bournemouth University, UK This latest volume continues to successfully unpack 'embodiment' as a conceptual frame for research. The carefully curated chapters powerfully add to a growing literature that places experiencing at the very heart of understanding the body's own logic without negating other forms of data. This practical and rigorous volume is a must-read for students, somatic practitioners and researchers. - Kevin Krycka, Associate Dean of Arts and Sciences, Professor of Psychology, Seattle University, USA. Chair, Gendlin Center for Research Applications of embodied research are still novel and require discernment, even for those who know something about knowing through and with the body. The book brings together the many conceptualizations of embodiment and presents an array of approaches. The thought provoking collection of cases invites the reader to explore their nuances and learn to communicate nonverbal discoveries. - Tomoyo Kawano, Director, Dance/Movement Therapy Program at Antioch University, USA
