Review
“This brief and delightful introduction to body psychotherapy introduces the reader to its many facets with unusual clarity and insightfulness.” ― European Association for Body Psychotherapy Newsletter
“I am impressed by the unusual synthesis of traditional psychological perspectives with the therapeutic approaches the author employs.” ― Richard D. Mann, University of Michigan
“I learned a great deal from this work. Marrone synthesizes, in a very readable and compelling way, a great deal of information about the ways in which the mind/body dualism has been challenged in the various modern traditions of psychology. He both explores the theoretical underpinnings of these developments and links them to actual practical developments in the therapeutic community that have emerged as a result of these insights. He does an excellent job of making respectable and appealing forms of therapy that more traditional psychologists might regard with distaste and suspicion.” ― Howard Eilberg-Schwartz, Temple University
