Integrative Principles and Psychotherapeutic Skills in Movement and Touch
Therapy

with Sol Petersen, N.Z.


Research in Psychotherapy suggests that after client motivation the second
most important factor in therapeutic success is not the specific technique
but the perceived presence, warmth and compassion of the therapist - perhaps
it is even eight or ten times more important than the technique. In the
practice of bodywork and movement therapy just how important is the attitude
of the practitioner? When we speak of integration and the body or the whole
person , what is our intention? Considering the common threads and underlying
principles in the field of bodywork and their relation to psychotherapeutic
skills will be the basis for this presentation and exploration.

years.He is a t'ai ji teacher ,a Structural Integration trainer , an Aston

School of Experiential Psychology and a Cranio-Sacral Therapist. His longtime
passion is exploring the development of a truly integrative approach in the
field of movement and body therapies.
