Dan Menkin has written an informed, sensitive, and inspiring guide for bodyworkers and their clients when the interactive process of hands-on work evokes in the client a spontaneous release of pent-up emotions. Through examples of personal dialogues with clients, parables, and stories, a multifaceted model of transformation-oriented bodywork is presented. Menkin teaches how to work from a place of deep inner peace and emotional stability, meanwhile being sensitive to the inner life of clients and protective of their vulnerabilty. This is an area not covered in basic courses on bodywork and meets a long-felt need. --Dolores Krieger, Ph.D., R.N., author of The Therapeutic Touch and Accepting Your Power to Heal
