Synopsis
Possibly the most famous and widely used single resource in the field of bodywork (required for national certification in massage therapy), this beautifully written book gives a richly detailed picture of how and why the body responds to therapeutic touch. A reader-friendly yet scientifically reliable and detailed introduction to the human body, this updated edition (including new introductory and supplemental material) surveys "bodywork," showing how its practices alter deep-seated patterns of body and mind. For general reader as much as professional and student interested in the body-mind and not wanting a dry, clinical presentation, this is the book.

About the Author
Deane Juhan, who taught many years at Esalen, lives in Mill valley and conducts professional classes worldwide for Trager and other bodyworkers.
From Library Journal
Juhan examines the physiology and psychology of our response to touch, combining excellent illustrations with a detailed but readable technical discussion. Individual sections conclude with his position that through body work, "heightened self-awareness and improved control over conditioned responses" will improve our health and reduce our Job-like suffering. Although Juhan is a professional body worker at Esalen Institute, he does not describe the techniques used and readers will have to test his claims themselves. Recommended for comprehensive collections on human physiology. Michael D. Cramer, Virginia Polytechnic Inst. & State Univ. Lib., Blacksburg
