Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, Volume Two

“This reference book is a valuable addition to the library of any practitioner studying craniosacral therapy.”—Massage Therapy Journal “This book is like Aladdin’s cave dazzling the reader with an abundance of well-researched and insightful information. More like an epic poem than a textbook, this volume is one to return to time and time again to uncover more treasure and delight in nuggets of wisdom. Dr. Michael Shea brings striking originality to the cranial concept.”—Katherine Ukleja, DO, RCST, practitioner and international teacher of Craniosacral Biodynamics“Dr. Michael Shea’s skills as a Master Teacher and Master Practitioner flow easily onto the page making complex principles readily available to both novice and seasoned therapists. He takes readers from the history and evolution of the biodynamic model through principles of the client-therapist relationship and ends with assisting the therapist to understand the multidimensional world that embodies the mythic. This vital work on the helping relationship should be required reading.”—Marti Glenn, PhD, founding president of Santa Barbara Graduate Institute “Michael Shea has thoroughly and thoughtfully contributed to the field of Somatic Psychology with his new book. At a time when somatic paradigm development, coupled with effective treatment, is still being worked out, Shea has given us a distinct road map to study.”—Christine Caldwell, PhD, professor and founder of the Somatic Counseling Psychology Department at Naropa University and author of Getting Our Bodies Back and Getting in Touch
