Review I found this book a comprehensive and rigorous account of Anna Halprins work and its application and relevance today. The discussions on the boundaries between Art and Therapy in her work with the body are both radical and inspiring. As both a dance artist/performer (...) I find the depth of enquiry and capacity to understand the body in doing, making and developing a political structure quite profound. One would hope that more people today who are interested in Dance and Movement and the body in both contexts will take up this extraordinary account of a lifes work. -- Kay Lynn * The Gestalt Centre; BGJ (British Gestalt Journal) and the Oxford Psychotherapy Societys members-only Journal *Readers will find that Anna Halprin: Dance, Process, Form is a detailed, well-researched, and objective examination of the life, work, and artistic mindset of Anna Halprin... the book is an interesting foray into where the process of expression in dance and therapy stands today, and also what it might mean for practitioners and performers going forward. -- Michael Fiorini * Somatic Psychotherapy Today * Promotional How Anna Halprin developed her therapeutic approach Long Description Ursula Schorn graduated at the Fritz Perls Institute for Integrative Gestalt as a dance and Gestalt therapist and trained as a Halprin practitioner at the Tamalpa Institute.
