Job's Body by Deane Juhan
Possibly the most famous and widely used resource in therapeutic bodywork, this beautifully written, detailed and reader-friendly picture of how and why the body responds to touch is both scientifically reliable and inspiring. Furthering the presentation of recent research in biochemistry, cell biology and energy medicine in the Second Edition, this new and greatly expanded edition includes advances in neurophysiology and physics, reconfiguring knowledge of mind and body, from microgenesis to quantum consciousness. A rare book, required reading for national massage therapy certification, that also serves the general reader.Deane Juhan was born in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, in 1945, and attended the University of Colorado (BA), University of Michigan (MA), and University of California at Berkeley (three and a half years as a PhD candidate in English literature with a focus on William Blake). In 1973, a bodywork experience at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur led to a career change. He noticed tremendous changes in a wide variety of conditions as a result of hands-on work and movement reeducation after joining the staff at Esalen as a bodyworker and instructor (where he remained until 1990). Job's Body: A Handbook into Bodywork, as well as the essays in his latest book, Touched by the Goddess: the Physical, Psychological, and Spiritual Powers of Bodywork, sparked his interest in clinical research. Years of study of the physiology of touch and its concrete impacts on growth, adaptation, skill learning, and healing eventually generated Job's Body: A Handbook of Bodywork, as well as the essays in his latest book, Touched by the Goddess: the Physical, Psychological, and Spiritual He is a Trager practitioner at the moment.
