This is a truly important book. Thomas Hanna makes clear that there is a major category of human health problems - amounting to possibly half of all human health complaints - [that] can be understood and dealt with only by means of sensory reeducation.

One of the most profound revolutions in our thinking concerns the fundamental connections between body and mind. Now that we begin to understand something about our inner healing powers, along comes Somatics to give form and shape to our new-found knowledge. We have been blessed by Tom Hanna through the publication of this book.

Somatic education is fortunate to have Thomas Hanna. His newest book, Somatics, marks a new maturity and sophistication in the field he named.

​

​

Elmer E. Green, Ph.D.

 

The Menninger Clinic

 

If I could, I would put Somatics in the hands of every neurologist, internist, nurse, psychophysiologic therapist, and clinical psychologist in the country.

Gerda Alexander

Somatics should be translated into every Western language, and it should be read by all parents and educators.

Mark Schmid-Neuhaus, M.D.

 

Chief Physician, Munich Health Park

 

The missing link between many doctors and their patients can be rediscovered if both parties understand what Somatics is really about: how wisely and wonderfully we are organized to live a better life than many of us do.
