The author has carefully selected 36 articles on many and varied facets of the Alexander Technique including education, psychology, theology, art, science, and medicine. Among the many impressive contributors are : Aldous Huxley, John Dewey, Marjory Barlow (Alexander's niece), Dr. Nina Meyer, Dr. Robin Skynner, Dr. Grahame Fagg, Dr. Peter Macdonald, Fr. Geoffrey Curtis, and the Nobel-prize winner, Professor Nikolaas Tinbergen. Barlow has also included articles critical of the Technique : his report on the libel action which Alexander brought and won in South Africa, Dr. Skynner's impression of his first twelve lessons, and Dr. Barlow's own recommendations for the qualities pupils should seek in a teacher of the Technique. This collection is ideal for readers who wish to become better acquainted with this extraordinary method for self-improvement and who seek a deeper understanding of its potential through its many possible applications. --from back cover.
