| The author describes our basic framework (muscle, joints, structure etc.), how it works and what choices we have in its use. The reader is encouraged through suggested experiments to discover a better use for herself. The book introduces the Technique in non-technical language, without use of traditional terminology, and relying instead on anatomy, physiology and self-observation. Subjects covered include body-image, emotional states, breathing, chairs, RSI, exercises, habit, and fear. It also provides a short, “traditional” introduction to the Technique. |

| Judith Leibowitz trained with Lulie Westfeldt in 1947-49. The first part of the book explains the basic concepts of the Technique in a straightforward way as well as pointing out its inherent potential. Case histories are given and basic anatomy is dealt with. The second part describes the “Leibowitz Procedures”: these are movements which she developed through her classes at the Juilliard School. The procedures are designed for the observation of daily activities through the use of mirrors, and the text explains what to look out for. Brief advice is also given on various sports and exercises. |
