Title: An 80s Bodyreading Classic .... But Now a Bit Dated
Review: This book, along with Dychtwald's Bodymind, was a mainstay back in the 80s for learning and teaching about reading the body and how the body expresses psychological patterns. However, it has become a bit dated. A more up to date book (2nd edition just released) that also takes a more broad based and in depth approach to exploring the bodymind connection isThe Psychology of the Bodyby Elliot Greene and Barbara Goodrich-Dunn .... an essential book for those who work with the body, e.g., massage therapists, bodyworkers, physical therapists, somatic educators, etc. It doesn't delve into body reading as much, but goes into much more depth about the interconnection of the mind and body, how touch affects the bodymind, emotional release, and ethics from a body based point of view. In this sense, it is much more comprehensive and complements Body Reveals for those who want to know more about this subject.
