| This booklet introduces the Technique by rectracing Alexander’s process of discovery (in “Evolution of a Technique”). The style and manner of presentation is that of an informal introductory lecture, drawing on personal experience for examples. This makes for a traditional, but sometimes sporadic, presentation. Translated from Hebrew. |

| This 1986 F. M. Alexander Memorial Lecture investigates what the Technique has in common with many other groups and disciplines, e.g. Jung, Reich, Perls, Sensory Awareness Training, Rolfing, Feldenkrais, Eastern Religions, Meditation, Yoga, Martial Arts, Gurdjieff and Steiner. In particular there are seven themes which the Technique shares with many of these. |

| More an interview than a conversation, nevertheless the informal style enables the authors to cover many areas of the Technique. Nicholls and Carey avoid getting lost in technicalities or lengthy arguments and in this way much information is made accessible to the lay reader; however, this is not an introduction to the Technique and is addressed mainly to teachers. It covers areas such as: cure versus development, emotional reactions and feelings, natural good use versus conscious good use, practicalities of teaching and the teacher-student relationship. Appendix contains Nicholls’ Memorial lecture: “The Alexander Technique in a larger context.” |
