Carleton, PhD The current issue of the IBPJ marks the end of the Editorship of Jacqueline A. Carleton, PhD. Dr Carleton founded the United States Association of Body Psychotherapy (USABP) Journal in 2001, which continued until 2011. In 2010 she opened negotiations with the European Association for Body Psychotherapy and brought about the collaboration of the two sister body psychotherapy organisations USABP and EABP in the International Body Psychotherapy Journal: The Art and Science of Somatic Praxis (IBPJ). Dr Carleton continued as the Editor in Chief for the next eight issues. This is the end of her fourteenth year. Thankfully she will remain as the Founding Editor and has brought in a new young team to ensure the continuity of the Journal. We acknowledge here her enormous achievement! Through her untiring work she has THE ART AND SCIENCE OF SOMATIC PRAXIS delivered 28 issues on time over the space of 14 years, each containing from 4-8 articles. She has encouraged, cajoled and mentored psychotherapists working across the US and Europe to write about their work: she has given them a space to exchange ideas and research and to communicate with other disciplines. She has inspired a more rigorous approach to writing and her own thoughtful and insightful editorials have in themselves made a great contribution. In the years of the USABP Journal Dr Carleton had the support of Robyn Burns and since the IBPJ was founded I have had the great honor, and even greater pleasure, of working alongside Jacquie and supporting her in the work. Thank you Jacquie for you enormous inspiration!! Jill van der Aa Managing Editor In appreciation of Jacqueline Carleton At a Board meeting of USABP in 2001, we decided, with Jacquie’s prodding, that we INTERNATIONAL BODY PSYCHOTHERAPY JOURNAL PSYCHOTHERAPY BODY INTERNATIONAL needed a Journal. Jacquie volunteered to become the Founding Editor of the USA Body Psychotherapy Journal. What a brave soul I thought she was to undertake such a time consuming, difficult, and vitally important job. At the time I was not aware of the many editorial jobs she had already done. I was aware of her as a supremely

  • Psychotherapeutic Postural Integration (IPP)
    Member of the Fédération Française de Psychothérapie et Psychanalyse (FF2P) Institute Accredited by the European Association of Psychotherapy Psychotherapeutic Postural Integration (IPP) By Eliane and Claude Vaux Société Civile IFCC – SIRET 405 186 875 00036 – 102 Route du Polygone – 67100 Strasbourg Tel: 0033 (0)3 88 60 44 84 – Email: [email protected] – Site: www.ifcc-psychotherapie.fr 1 2 Short history The IFCC was founded in 1996 with enthusiasm and joy. Eliane Jung-Fliegans, clinical psychologist, and Claude Vaux, body psychotherapist, combined their expertise and their passion for this work since 1982 and decided to create a psychotherapy training course mainly focused on Gestalt Therapy and Postural Integration. At the time, Claude Vaux was working in Paris at the Triangle association, with Michel Sokoloff and Dominique Vayner. Triangle opens the field to new therapies from the USA and from India by organizing seminars and training courses. In this way, they bring to France a range of therapists known in Esalen, cradle of humanist psychology, such as Léonard Orr, creator of Rebirth, Paul Rebillot, founder of Experiential Gestalt, Alexander Lowen, founder of Bioenergetic Analysis, Gerda Boyesen, creator of Biodynamics, Harvey Jackins, founder of Co-Counseling, Jack Painter, creator of Postural Integration… Eliane, after obtaining a master’s degree in psychology, created the Cabinet of Humanist Psychology in Strasbourg, where she practices Gestalt Therapy and Creative Visualization. Little by little, the method they teach became more and more distinctive and eventually unified under the name of Psychotherapeutic Postural Integration. Claude and Eliane collaborate with Jack Painter and Paul Rebillot, but above all integrate into their training the Regenerative Movement taught by Itsuo Tsuda, whom Claude met in 1978.

Some are small, like shifting our table of contents headings to more clearly identify which works are peer reviewed, and changing the spacing between articles’ paragraphs. Others are more obvious, like the ability and willingness to publish even longer works than previously, in addition to the ongoing array of works published. Some transitions are in process and less visible. For example, we are working to evolve IR’s structure to reflect its degree of engagement from others, and making behind the scene shifts in our ability to better understand and realize the goals we set out to accomplish.

  • Dare I Touch? Exploring the Potentials of Using Touch in Neuro-Linguistic-Psychotherapy Asaf Rolef Ben-Shahar
    Dare I touch? Exploring the Potentials of using touch in Neuro-Linguistic-Psychotherapy Asaf Rolef Ben-Shahar Touch remains the most trusted connection between people. I will believe your touch before I believe your words. Virginia Satir (1988) I breathe. I come to my centre. What does it mean to come to my centre, for me? It means being at home with me; it means being ok with the thoughts, sensations, emotions, being ok with me. Moreover, it means making a statement to the world about being me: it’s ok. Strangely, it is when I’m mostly in my centre, that I’m also mostly connected to others. This is nothing new, I haven’t invented any novelty; different people in different cultures have talked about these moments. I breathe. I come to my centre and connect with you through my centre. We watch each other, we sense each other’s presence; we touch. What could be more wonderful than this celebration of life? What could be scarier than this celebration of life? And in those moments it doesn’t matter that I am a therapist and you are a client (or vice-versa). In those moments we are. And when I am, then all is ok, and when you are all is ok. And techniques? And changework? And achieving the client’s outcome? Well, techniques is what we do when being isn’t that easy, isn’t it? Some people are afraid of trance; they are fearful because trance opens the door to powerful change, it opens doors to genuine and authentic magic.

  • Following the Trail of the Snake: a Life History of Cobra Mansa “Cobrinha” Mestre of Capoeira
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FOLLOWING THE TRAIL OF THE SNAKE: A LIFE HISTORY OF COBRA MANSA “COBRINHA” MESTRE OF CAPOEIRA Isabel Angulo, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Directed By: Dr. Jonathan Dueck Division of Musicology and Ethnomusicology, School of Music, University of Maryland Professor John Caughey American Studies Department, University of Maryland This dissertation is a cultural biography of Mestre Cobra Mansa, a mestre of the Afro-Brazilian martial art of capoeira angola. The intention of this work is to track Mestre Cobrinha’s life history and accomplishments from his beginning as an impoverished child in Rio to becoming a mestre of the tradition—its movements, music, history, ritual and philosophy. A highly skilled performer and researcher, he has become a cultural ambassador of the tradition in Brazil and abroad. Following the Trail of the Snake is an interdisciplinary work that integrates the research methods of ethnomusicology (oral history, interview, participant observation, musical and performance analysis and transcription) with a revised life history methodology to uncover the multiple cultures that inform the life of a mestre of capoeira. A reflexive auto-ethnography of the author opens a dialog between the experiences and developmental steps of both research partners’ lives. Written in the intersection of ethnomusicology, studies of capoeira, social studies and music education, the academic dissertation format is performed as a roda of capoeira aiming to be respectful of the original context of performance. The result is a provocative ethnographic narrative that includes visual texts from the performative aspects of the tradition (music and movement), aural transcriptions of Mestre Cobra Mansa’s storytelling and a myriad of writing techniques to accompany the reader in a multi-dimensional journey of multicultural understanding.

  • Defining-Reflex.Pdf
    REPORT: DEFINITIONS OF REFLEXOLOGY Prepared by Christine Issel with assistance from Bill Flocco Originally prepared for the America Reflexology Certification Board & Reflexology Association of America May 2003 updated November 2013 1 INTRODUCTION In order to have a unified profession we must seek to establish a unified definition to which most reflexologists can subscribe. In trying to create this universal definition several issues need to be kept in mind. 1. As we move forward in legislative endeavors at any level, it is important to have a similar definition in use and seen in printed literature by the different agencies representing reflexology. There is a national movement to assign billing codes to complementary therapies so that their practitioners can bill through insurance companies. However, in order to do that the practitioner must be licensed by the state*. So we will see more, not less legislation in the years ahead. (*Unlicensed professionals will be able to bill through a licensed practitioner to receive payment.) 2. A definition by the Reflexology Association of America (RAA) must be inclusive, to allow as many reflexologists as possible to subscribe to and thus become members of the association, without being too general as to be meaningless. Whereas a definition by the American Reflexology Certification Board (ARCB) needs to include what it tests. 3. With the best of intent, many reflexologists sometimes want to put as much as possible into a definition. Many people confuse a definition (which defines the word, or what is meant by the word Reflexology) with a scope of practice (what part of the body we work on), the theory (how it is believed to work), the application of techniques (the techniques used and how applied), its history or origin, it’s results or benefits (how it is going to help people).

Both Martin Heidegger and Jean Paul Sartre, for example, perceive that nothing is part-and-parcel of (man’s) being. The present study adopts a similar position concerning nothing and its essential relationship to being, but adds a third element: that of writing narrative. This relationship between nothing and narrative is, I argue, established in the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche, Mikhail Bakhtin, Jacques Derrida, and Julia Kristeva. As Heidegger and Sartre position nothing as essential to the creation of being, so Nietzsche, Bakhtin, Derrida, and Kristeva figure nothing as essential to the production of narrative.
