WITH PBSP YOU CAN

• Symbolically satisfy Unfulfilled Developmental Needs -- experience having a place in the world, with nurture, support, protection and limits.
• Offset the impact of Traumatic Events -- the psychological, physical and sexual abuse that block normal development
• Undo the consequences of “Holes in Roles” --  the fissures and fractures in family system that people triy to heal by automatically taking on the roles of absent or missing family members that reduce the ability  to experience happiness

Albert Pesso and Diane Boyden-Pesso developed PBSP® in 1961.   Before that time they spent   years observing how human emotions were expressed in body action and speech, for they were determined to understand not only how emotional feelings become outward behavior but also to learn how to manage and control the impact that emotional expression had on those toward whom those expressions were directed and those who only witnessed it. 
    From those beginnings, a large body of movement sensitization techniques, theories of human interaction and a complex process of emotional re-education evolved. PBSP is now a fully developed unified theory that has at its foundation a vision of what it means to be human -- biologically, psychologically, sociologically, philosophically, and spiritually.
   Since those beginnings thousands of therapist have received training and currently there are 17 PBSP* certification training programs 10 countries.

Executive Performance Enhancement 

• Business needs to be managed and run by able, capable executives who can make decisions under pressure, see the long term consequences of their choices and have the confidence to move ahead when conditions are uncertain.
• Business cannot afford to suffer the results of poor histories, bad habits and suppressed potentialities. Top executives’ talents and capacities must be at their fingertips and available in sufficient quantities to meet present challenges, regardless of internal stress or the press of external negative circumstance.
• All people are born with creative capacities – the human psyche and spirit is gifted with skills and organizational abilities that can flow naturally in response to problems and challenges.
• The task is to free and cultivate those abilities ....

Over the past 40 years, Al Pesso and Diane Boyden-Pesso have perfected an extraordinarily effective technique, PBSP [Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor], providing people with experiences that were missing during their growth and development.  The artistry of Pesso's ‘structure’ can be a unique and profoundly life-altering experience."  
quote from Bessel A. van der Kolk, M.D.
Past President of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, Professor of Psychiatry at Boston University Medical School, and Clinical Director of the Trauma Center at HRI Hospital in Brookline, Massachusetts.

 "If you want to really learn how to work on family of origin issues, and how to use 
body information in your therapy, go straight to the 
foremost therapist in that field, Al Pesso."
Gus Napier, Ph.D., author of "The Family Crucible" & "The Fragile Bond"

 "As a practitioner and long time teacher of clinical theory and practice (psychodynamic and family therapy), I had had evidence of the soundness of PBSP theory and its effectiveness in practice via observations of Al Pesso's work at clinical meetings.  However my conviction of the efficacy of the theory in treatment was substantially reinforced through personal experience of his training seminars which I sought to help me cope with my husband's death.
      Despite having been psychoanalyzed years ago and having completed family of origin work as part of my training as a family therapist, Pesso's work reached depths not tapped earlier and reworked issues in ways that created greater integration and self understanding than ever believed possible.  It is his ability to tap experience at the earliest developmental levels, along with his ever vigilant stance that is respectful of the ego's readiness to accept and integrate new information, that makes his work so stunning and transformative.  Of special significance to me also was the capacity to incorporate cultural (ethnic/racial) dynamics to the many levels of understanding gained."
