(2010) The emergence of somatic psychology and bodymind therapy, Dordrecht, Springer.
Holistic discourse: This is the importance of honoring by listening to all aspects of the individual and his or her ecology, in addition to listening to the mind’s everyday systematic formulations, or even to the flow of free-associative movement within our reflective consciousness, there are processes of attending to, focusing on, and inviting into dialogue all the different “voices” that compose what European philosophers have called our “being-in-the-world” (the “beingness” of being human), in this way, new dimensions of awareness are developed. The impulses of our physicality the living experience of our embodiment — can be treated as a “voice” and brought into this new awareness, just as much as the conceptual formulations that chatter in our heads or that come out of our mouths. No voice is assumed superior to another, and none is held in a relation of domination over the other.
