Rosen Method Bodywork (RMB) practitioners use a unique form of touch and talk to expand a client’s awareness of their present moment felt experience. This article describes the method, its indications and contraindications, and its effects. Marion Rosen’s life and her discoveries about the body are described by Mary Kay Wright (2010) in Part I of this series on Rosen Method. Rosen Method Movement, also created by Marion Rosen, will not be discussed here.

This is a study of differences in physical contact and tactile interpersonal behaviours between Hispanic and Anglo mothers and infants living in the United States. Infants were 9 months old and 52 mother-infant dyads, 26 Hispanic and 26 Anglo, were videotaped during free play without toys in a university laboratory playroom. Coders judged the interpersonal distance, physical contact and affectionate touch from the videotapes and mothers responded to a questionnaire about the importance of physical contact and affectionate ...

What does it mean when a baby smiles? Is it an expression of enjoyment, a signal to a partner that rewards effective caretaking, or simply a muscular contraction? Do physically different types of smiles indicate different things? Should the social context in which an infant smiles inform our understanding of the smile? To address these questions, we apply insights and ideas from a dynamic systems perspective to anatomical, social interactive, and neurophysiological data on the development of infant facial action (Fogel, 1993; Fogel & ...

This is a study of differences in physical contact and tactile interpersonal behaviours between Hispanic and Anglo mothers and infants living in the United States. Infants were 9 months old and 52 mother-infant dyads, 26 Hispanic and 26 Anglo, were videotaped during free play without toys in a university laboratory playroom. Coders judged the interpersonal distance, physical contact and affectionate touch from the videotapes and mothers responded to a questionnaire about the importance of physical contact and affectionate touch in their relationship with their infant. From questionnaire data we found that Hispanic and Anglo mothers both touch their infants on a daily basis, although Hispanic mothers report touching more frequently, being more affectionate with their infants and having more skin-to-skin contact. From videotaped observations we found that there were no overall differences in mother-infant touch between the two cultures; however, the Hispanic mothers showed more close touch and more close and affectionate touch compared to Anglo mothers, who showed more distal touch. The results are discussed in terms of the role of touch in infant development and cultural differences in the evaluation of close physical contact and touch.

A reading of these articles suggests that they are united by the following general themes: a relational orientation (as opposed to a focus on individuals), the sensual embodiment of the self (as opposed to a mentalistic conception of self), development as a historical co-construction that is culturally mediated,

Aims: This project aims to analyze and describe an individual’s changing sense of self in the contexts of changing and chronic pulmonary illness, Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) and conventional care. Background: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a type of interstitial pneumonia and is characterized by a relentlessly deteriorating course, often marked by episodes of acute exacerbation; median survival after diagnosis is 2.8 years and curative biomedical treatment is non-existent. CAM has been documented to support pulmonary function but is not known to be curative of IPF either. Methods: One patient was recruited and consented to participate. She was interviewed by the author who is her Acupuncturist in a private Traditional Chinese Medicine outpatient clinic. The digitally recorded semi-structured interview was transcribed. The clean transcription was analyzed using a thematic content analysis. Labs and biomedical records were obtained and analyzed. The patterns o...

Fluctuations of good days and bad days-in physical symptoms and emotional states-are common for individuals with chronic illness. This pilot study examines these fluctuations during bodywork treatment. We analyzed changes in daily self-reports over a period of five months for five individuals who received weekly treatments of Rosen Method Bodywork (RMB), which uses touch and words to enhance body awareness of physical sensations and emotional states. Five subjects (aged 31-56) who had chronic low back pain (CLBP) received 16 weekly treatments given by three experienced RMB practitioners. Pre- and posttreatment assessments covered demographics, disability, and pain. Clients also completed daily bedtime assessments of pain, fatigue, emotional state, and sense of control during the entire treatment period. All clients reported reductions in pain and/or disability in post- compared to pretreatment. In spite of a high level of day-to-day variability in the daily assessments, there were s...

Laughter in infant-directed speech was examined in 13 mother-infant pairs to investigate the possible co-occurrence of speech and laughter. Contrary to previous findings in adult-adult social interaction, all mothers produced speech simultaneously with laughter in up to 50% of laughs. In most of these speech-laughs the onset of laugh and speech was simultaneous. Laughter occurred on both function and content words and was more likely to occur on approximately 2 words and on utterances that were statements rather than questions or exclamations. Laughter and speech are different outcomes produced from a reorganization of the same vocal/anatomical parameters. A 3rd outcome is possible in the form of speech-laughs utilizing features from both laughter and speech. In speech-laughs, the duration of the vocalization was more likely to increase, and the changes in the utterance were likely to include 1 or more of the features of vowel elongation, syllabic pulsation, breathiness, and pitch c...

This coding system is based on a view of communication as a creative relational process, rather than an exchange of discrete packages of information between individuals. In this perspective, information (meaning) is viewed as emerging spontaneously between continuously active communication partners. Communication that is both continuously coordinated and creative is coregulated ("a continuous unfolding of individual action that is susceptible to being continuously
modified by the continuously changing actions of the partner" ). Creativity is a fundamental aspect of interpersonal communication, occurring when an innovation enters into communication. The Relational Coding system aims at assessing patterns of communication and focuses on the communication system as a whole. It is applicable to any type of dyadic communication (e.g., parent-child, therapist-client, husband-wife). In addition, it can be adapted for use with triads or larger groups (e.g., teacher-classroom, performer-audience).

Embodied self-awareness is the practice and science of our ability to feel our movements, sensations, and emotions. As infants, before we can speak or conceptualize, we learn to move toward what makes us feel good and away from what makes us feel bad. Or ability to continue to develop and cultivate awareness of such body-based feelings and understanding is essential for learning how to successfully navigate in the physical and social world, as well as for avoiding injury and stress. The book explains the neurological basis of embodied self-awareness, how to enhance self-awareness, and how to regain it after injury or trauma.
