Body and Mature Behavior: A Study of Anxiety, Sex, Gravitation, and Learning

by Moshé Feldenkrais

A victim of debilitating injuries, Moshe Feldenkrais was intimately aware of the link between bodily suffering and mental health. Through healing himself, he made revolutionary discoveries, culminating in the development of the method that now bears his name. In an intellectually rich and eloquent style, Feldenkrais delves into neurology, prehistory, child development, gravity and anti-gravity, reflexive versus learned behavior, the effects of emotion, especially anxiety, on posture, and most importantly, the inseparability of body and mind.

Reviews

[Finlay]

A holistic view of body and mind, layering of the nervous system, and patterns of development. I don't know if his theories are strictly correct, but they're quite interesting and thought-provoking.
