Moving Psychotherapy: Theory and Application of Pesso System/Psychomotor Therapy
by Albert Pesso and John Crandell
ISBN 0-914797-72-7, cloth cover, $39.95
Pesso System/Psychotherapy (PS/P) integrates the mind, the "psyche," fueled by the body, the "motor," into a comprehensive, flexible, and subtle system for accomplishing emotional re-education and growth. Structures, episodes of therapeutic work that involve the client and role-playing figures, which take place in a controlled setting with carefully designed exercises, are used to resolve past conflicts, satisfy previously unmet needs, heal past emotional injuries, and enable hitherto unborn parts of the self to emerge and become integrated into the being and functioning of the person.
"Pesso System Psychomotor is really a set of working principles (supported by techniques) which are dedicated to promoting a kind of interpersonal justice, and to the liberation of what the Pessos call the soul, or all the genetic potential with which the individual enters life. While the family is seldom the ideal environment for the human spirit, the Pessos' possibility sphere forms a micro-ecosystem where it may take a firmer, more hopeful hold. In the construction of this alternative reality, this approach can help us begin to reshape the family itself." -Augustus Y. Napier, Ph.D., Director, The Family Workshop, Atlanta, Georgia, USA and author, The Fragile Bond, The Family Crucible
"The contributions range from links to contemporary theories, e.g., object relations, and an impressive range of applications." -Joan J. Zibach, M.D., Boston Analytic Institute, The Fielding Institute
