Biography
Robert Shaw has written numerous articles for journals including: Psychodynamic Counselling and The Journal of Contemporary Health.
"This thoughtful, well-researched phenomenological study of the therapist’s body in the psychotherapy session is an attempt to “reclaim the body for psychotherapy…and the mind for osteopathy.” Trained in both disciplines, the author sets out to reconcile his two professional lives, integrate his own work more, and demonstrate the relevance of research to clinical practice. His research focuses on 14 in-depth interviews with psychotherapists, whom he quotes extensively. His theoretical discussions as well as the many examples of how therapists can and do use their bodies within the therapeutic encounter are a rich source of intellectual stimulation and practical information."
