The author speaks from his personal knowledge of the field, and his acquaintance with many of the people involved. He has trained in, or has experienced, or knows people working in all of these methods, and has attended most of the conferences on Body-Psychotherapy, on both sides of the Atlantic, over the last 15 years.

From 2012 the Journal will be coming out four times a year. Whilst initially we will have the same number of pages in all three (now four) issues, this will eventually allow us to increase the number of pages per issue. We also have some other news. The Manuscript Central system, ‘Scholar One’, is now up and running, so, if you submit an article or are asked to referee an article (two per year is usual) you will engage with us through this Manuscript Central system from now on. If it does not seem to work for you, do not fear or get annoyed, our wonderful editorial assistant, Anna Fiona Keogh, will guide you through the process and also arrange to get the difficulty fixed as well. This system does make the submission and review of articles much more streamlined and transparent, and also speeds up the process time between submission and publication. We are, of course, always interested in new articles, book reviews, reflections, conference reports, etc., so please keep them coming: the richness of the Journal lies in the variety and depth of the submissions – your submissions. For this issue in Autumn 2011, in these times of extreme changes (both at home and abroad; political, social, economic and environmental), the process of consolidation becomes important. Reading these well-researched and reflective articles can give us a sense of this. We offer you a really interesting set of articles: the international authors come from Israel, Spain, and the UK. Their breadth of experience and difference in practice is widely varied. Two major themes apparent in these articles are the use of language and the need for greater embodiment. Dita Judith Federman, in her research study on ‘Kinaesthetic change in the professional development of Dance Movement Therapy trainees’, compares changes in kinaesthetic ability, not between clinical and non-clinical patients, as is usual, but between dance movement therapy trainees and art therapy trainees. Their abilities were measured against a table of 39 movement dimensions, based on Laban’s original movement analysis. Unsurprisingly, the DMT graduates improved more on this scale than the art therapy graduates, but the real purpose of the study was to develop an easyto-use assessment tool for such proprioceptive movements which could be applied in clinical settings.
