“This reference book is a valuable addition to the library of any
practitioner studying craniosacral therapy.”
—Massage Therapy Journal
“This book is like Aladdin’s cave dazzling the reader with an
abundance of well-researched and insightful information. More like
an epic poem than a textbook, this volume is one to return to time
and time again to uncover more treasure and delight in nuggets of
wisdom. Dr. Michael Shea brings striking originality to the cranial
concept.”
—Katherine Ukleja, DO, RCST, practitioner and international teacher
of Craniosacral Biodynamics
“Dr. Michael Shea’s skills as a Master Teacher and Master
Practitioner flow easily onto the page making complex principles
readily available to both novice and seasoned therapists. He takes
readers from the history and evolution of the biodynamic model
through principles of the client-therapist relationship and ends
with assisting the therapist to understand the multidimensional
world that embodies the mythic. This vital work on the helping
relationship should be required reading.”
—Marti Glenn, PhD, founding president of Santa Barbara Graduate
Institute
“Michael Shea has thoroughly and thoughtfully contributed to the
field of Somatic Psychology with his new book. At a time when
somatic paradigm development, coupled with effective treatment, is
still being worked out, Shea has given us a distinct road map to
study.”
—Christine Caldwell, PhD, professor and founder of the Somatic
Counseling Psychology Department at Naropa University and author of
