Groundworks gives accounts of the actual processes of working with individuals in six major schools of Somatics by either the creator of the method itself or a leading teacher of the method. The creators are Robert Hall of Lomi School, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen of Body-Mind Centering, and Emilie Conrad Da'oud of Continuum. Leading teachers of methods include Michael Salveson on Rolfing, Elizabeth Beringer on Feldenkrais work, and Darcy Elman on F. M. Alexander Technique. Each therapist describes how he or she approaches and diagnoses a patient's problem, how he or she determines what and where to work, and the progress of a session. Each therapist shows the complexity of working with somatic processes and the resulting reward for client and therapist both.

To understand how the small group of practitioners and teachers represented in these pages came to puzzle about the questions we address in Groundworks, it is necessary to go back to 1987 when Esalen Institute entered into a series of meetings with The Soviet Ministry of Health in which American and Soviet health scientists and practitioners were brought together to discuss alternative approaches to health, and new kinds of scientific inquiry related to those approaches.
