As Others See Us: Body Movement and the Art of Successful Communication

Ellen Goldman, a leader in the field of movement analysis, helped to found New York's respected Laban/Bartenieff Institute of Movement Studies and is a practitioner and trainer of the internationally recognized Action Profiling System®.
In As Others See Us, Ellen Goldman demonstrates how to build awareness of one's own continuous body movement and experience the subtleties of body language. Goldman explains the concept of Integrated Movement — in which posture and gesture come together in one smooth and consistent action — and shows how this understanding can enrich all facets of everyday life. This unique and interdisciplinary work represents a major step forward for body language. Goldman relates body language specifically to the individual and the situation, and provides a wealth of examples and exercises that span a range of circumstances: family and love relationships, work situations, group dynamics, art, and spirituality.
