| Mouritz mini review: |
| This may regarded as the second volume of Thinking Aloud. It contains talks given to trainees on the many aspects of teaching and living the Technique. Some of the 29 talks are titled: Thinking to do, General functioning, The primary wish, Forward and up, Knees forward and away, The length and the width, Walking, Yin and yang, Establishing a total pattern, Responsibility, Gravitation, and Saying and meaning no. Foreword by the “postural” physiologist Tristan Roberts and an introduction by Glynn Macdonald, and biographies. (© 1999 Jean M. O. Fischer) |
