Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Informative
It's a fact that body and mind are not separate entities and an eventuality that massage therapists will encounter their clients' emotional expression in some sessions. This book shares Elliot Greene?s and Barbara Goodrich-Dunn's expertise, drawn from over thirty years experience each in dealing with body/mind phenomena and teaching why it comes about, what can happen, how it manifests in different forms, and other information about feelings and emotions that can arise during body work. The Psychology of the Body, written for massage therapists and anyone who works with the body, is a clear and concise book about a large and complex subject -- the human organism. Because of its acuity, I think it is also a good book on the subject of Somatic Psychology in general.

Great Book for Therapists
I have found this book so interesting as well as helpful. It has made me change my approach to some clients. Highly recommend it for anyone studying or working as a Massage Therapist. I work with Special Needs who are mostly non verbal and I have found this book a real help.

An Essential, Unique Book ... 2nd Ed. is even better
This outstanding book is a must-read for any therapist who works with the body and uses touch ... students, recent grads, and experienced therapists alike.
