Our voice establishes and conveys our identity and state of being. When we suffer, whether physically or psychologically, it reflects that strained condition. Voice Movement Therapy is a new technique of expressive arts therapy in which the voice is understood to be a link between body and mind--and a supremely powerful tool for improving self-image and for opening up whole new worlds of self-expression and creativity. In this, the first book to present a comprehensive overview of the technique, its founder details its history and reveals its usefulness for performers, therapists, and all those interested in liberating their capacity for self expression.
